2:06-mc-00004-FCD-PAN

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: 

TAX SUMMONS ENFORCEMENT

Taxpayer: ALLEN S. TURNER 

Date: Wednesday, March 29, 2006

Time: 9:00 a.m.

Ctrm: 25 (8th Floor, PAN)

Upon the petition of McGREGOR W. SCOTT, United States Attorney for the

Eastern District of California, and the Exhibit attached thereto, including the verification

of Revenue Officer WILLIAM RYDER, it is hereby:

ORDERED that the Respondent, ALLEN S. TURNER, appear before United

States Magistrate Judge Peter A. Nowinski, in that Magistrate Judge's courtroom in the

United States Courthouse, 501 I Street, Sacramento, California, on Wednesday, March

29, 2006, at 9:00 a.m., to show cause why the respondent should not be compelled to

obey the Internal Revenue Service summons issued on January 27, 2005.

It is further ORDERED that:

1. The United States Magistrate Judge will preside, under to 28 U.S.C. Section

636(b)(1) and Local Rule 72-302(c)(9), at the hearing scheduled above. After hearing,

the Magistrate Judge intends to submit proposed findings and recommendations under

Local Rule 304(a), with the original thereof filed by the Clerk and a copy provided to all

parties.

2. The Court hereby appoints the group manager of the petitioning Internal

Revenue Service employee, and all federal employees designated by that group manager,

under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(1), to serve process in this case.

3. A copy of this order, together with the Verified Petition and its Exhibit, shall 

be personally served upon the respondent within 21 days of the date this order is served

upon the United States Attorney.

4. Proof of any service done pursuant to paragraph 3, above, shall be filed with the

Clerk as soon as practicable.

5. The file reflects a prima facie showing that the investigation is conducted

pursuant to a legitimate purpose, that the inquiry may be relevant to that purpose, that the

information sought is not already within the Commissioner’s possession, and that the

administrative steps required by the Code have been followed. United States v. Powell,

379 U.S. 48, 57-58 (1964). The burden of coming forward therefore has shifted to

whoever might oppose enforcement.

6. If the respondent has any defense or opposition to the petition, such defense or

opposition shall be made in writing and filed with the Clerk and a copy served on the

United States Attorney at least 10 days prior to the date set for the show cause hearing.

7. At the show cause hearing, the Magistrate Judge intends to consider the issues

properly raised in opposition to enforcement. Only those issues brought into controversy

by the responsive pleadings and supported by affidavit will be considered. Any

uncontested allegation in the petition will be considered admitted. 

8. The respondent may notify the Court, in a writing filed with the Clerk and

served on the United States Attorney at least 10 days prior to the date set for the show

cause hearing, that the respondent has no objections to enforcement of the summons. The

respondent's appearance at the hearing will then be excused.
