					</span>filed by the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) on December 2, 2016. In the motion, Counsel for the Secretary represented that he made several failed attempts to reach Mr. Jum Pyo to discuss unresolved evidentiary and procedural matters before the hearing. Further, Counsel for the Secretary indicated that Jum Pyo’s unresponsiveness and limited English proficiency prevented the Secretary from adequately preparing for the hearing. To address these concerns raised by the Secretary, the undersigned scheduled a conference call for December 7, 2016. The undersigned’s legal assistant attempted to reach Mr. Jum Pyo, by phone using a Korean interpreter, to notify him of the conference call. The undersigned’s legal assistant called both numbers on file for Mr. Pyo and left voicemail messages on each providing the information for the conference call. However, Jum Pyo<span>
					</span>neither responded to the voicemail messages nor did he<span>
					</span>participate in the conference call on December 7<span style="position:relative;font-size:0.58em; bottom: 1ex;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt; ">th</span>. Following the conference call, the undersigned’s legal assistant again tried to reach Mr. Jum Pyo, by phone, with no success. Again, with the aid of a Korean interpreter, the legal assistant left voicemail messages<span>
					</span>on each of the phone<span><span></span>
					</span>numbers on file directing Mr. Pyo to contact the court no later than December 9, 2016. Mr. Pyo never responded. Another basis for the first Show Cause Order was Jum Pyo’s failure to comply with the court’s Notice of Hearing and Hearing Site, Scheduling Order and Special Notices<span><span></span>
					</span>issued on September 26, 2016. In that Order, the court directed the parties to “meet or<span><span></span>
					</span>confer” to discuss prehearing issues by or before Friday, December 2, 2016. However, as indicated in the Secretary’s motion, Jum Pyo was unresponsive to attempts to contact him in fulfillment of the court’s Order. </p>
