On September 27, 2019, the Clerk entered an order granting default judgment in favor of 

Linklaters (“Judgment”). The Judgment requires that Neos Inc. (“Judgment Debtor”) pay Linklaters 

LLP (“Judgment Creditor”) the amount of $418,490.23 with an interest rate of 8% from the date of 

entry of the foreign judgment on February 4, 2019. Pursuant to the Judgment, creditor Linklaters 

initiated an investigation into assets of Judgment Debtor available to apply to the Judgment. 

Judgment Creditor served Judgment Debtor with a subpoena to produce documents by 

January 6, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. 

Judgment Creditor obtained an order from the Court for a corporate representative of 

Judgment Debtor to appear for a debtor examination on January 13, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. (the 

“Examination Order”). 

Jean Richmann of Alston & Bird LLP appeared on behalf of Judgment Creditor. Pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 69(a)(2), “[i]n aid of the judgment or execution, the judgment 

creditor or a successor in interest whose interest appears of record may obtain discovery from any 

person—including the judgment debtor—as provided in these rules or by the procedure of the state 

where the court is located.” Fed. R. Civ. Proc. Rule 69(a)(2) (emphasis added). Pursuant to 

California Code of Civil Procedure § 708.150, Judgment Debtor was required to appear via a 

corporate representative to be examined pursuant to the Examination Order, and Judgment Debtor 

failed to appear. 

Under the circumstances, the court sets a show-cause hearing for February 20, 2020 at 9:30 

a.m. in Courtroom B on the 15th Floor of this Court located at 450 Golden Gate Ave., San 

Francisco, CA 94102. A corporate representative of Judgment Debtor must appear in person to show 

cause why the Court should not hold it in contempt under CCP § 2023.030(e) for Judgment Debtor’s 

failure to appear on January 13, 2020, pursuant to the Examination Order, and shall be examined 

pursuant to the Examination Order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
