real, personal or otherwise, in which he may have a legal, beneficial or other interest, whether

separate, community or otherwise.

It is further ordered that Romano, in person and through counsel, shall show cause, if

any there be, why he should not be remanded immediately to the custody of the United States

It is further ordered that, if Romano wishes to contest the relief sought by the

Commission, he shall file a memorandum of points and authorities setting forth all factual

matters and legal authorities, including citations to appropriate statutes and case, on which he

intends to rely in opposing the Commission’s relief no later than November 21, 2008 at 5:00

It is further ordered that the Commission shall personally serve Romano with this order

and file proof of service with the court no later than November 26, 2008 at 5:00 p.m. The court

will not hold a hearing unless the Commission has filed proof of personal service on Romano by
