until she complied with the Court’s March 2009 order and produced

the documents identified in the IRS summons. A bench warrant

issued, and Respondent was brought before the Court on April 27,

2010, at which time Respondent agreed to produce the records

sought by Petitioners. The Court released Respondent from

custody on April 27, 2010.

By the filing of this proposed Order, Petitioners advise the

Court that Respondent did produce records to the IRS between

April 27, 2010, and May 14, 2010. Petitioners seek no further

orders for enforcement of the summons and respectfully request

that the Court terminate this action.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

1. The Order Re: Contempt that issued on April 21, 2010,

is discharged.

2. The Clerk is directed to close this action, because

this Order terminates the action in its entirety.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
