SEALED ORDER GRANTING 

GOVERNMENT'S REQUEST FOR 

ARREST WARRANT AS TO 

GARY HUNT AND ORDER 

SEALING ARREST WARRANT 

This matter comes before the Court on the government's 

request for an arrest warrant for Gary Hunt that the government 

made in its Status Report (#2000) Regarding Order to Show Cause 

and during a hearing on March 10, 2017. 

On February 16, 2017, the Court granted the government's 

Motion (#1788) for Order to Show Cause and issued an Order 

(#1901) to Show Cause to Hunt. In that Order the Court directed 

Hunt to appear either in person or by telephone at a show-cause 

hearing on March 10, 2017, at 1:00 p.m. The Court also directed

Hunt to file a memorandum no later than March 3, 2017, in 

response to the Order to Show Cause. Moreover, the Court offered 

to assist Hunt in locating pro bono counsel if he is unable to 

afford retained counsel and directed the government to effect 

personal service of the Order to Show Cause on Hunt. 

On February 24, 2017, the government filed a Certification 

(#1946) of Service of Order to Show Cause. In that Certification 

the government represented FBI Special Agent Matthew Catalano 

served Hunt with a copy of the Order to Show Cause and that Hunt 

was already aware of the Order at the time at the time SA 

Catalano completed service. The government also represented in 

its Status Report (#2000) Regarding Order to Show Cause that Hunt 

has publicly stated he does not intend to respond to the Court's 

Order to Show Cause. 

On March 10, 2017, at 1:00 p.m., the Court convened the 

show-cause hearing, but Hunt failed to appear for that hearing, 

did not make a filing as directed, and has not otherwise 

contacted the Court. The Court, therefore, finds it is necessary 

to issue a warrant for Hunt's arrest in order to bring him before 

this Court for his failure to appear at the show-cause hearing 

and to adjudicate civil contempt proceedings for violation of the 

Court's Protective Order (#342) and Supplement to Protective 

Order (#1692). 

On this record, therefore, the Court GRANTS the government's

request for an arrest warrant as to Gary Hunt, and the Court will 

issue the warrant without delay. 

The Court, however, finds good cause to file under seal both 

this Order and the arrest warrant. Throughout this case and in 

the factually-related matters that took place in Bunkerville, 

Nevada, in April 2014 that are the subject of ongoing criminal 

proceedings in the District of Nevada, there have been instances 

of individuals avoiding the execution of court orders and/or 

arrest by engaging in armed confrontations with law enforcement. 

The Court issues under seal this Order and the warrant for Hunt's 

arrest in an effort to permit the orderly execution of the arrest 

warrant. 

The Court will unseal this Order and the arrest warrant upon 

notice that Hunt is in custody. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED this 10th day of March, 2017.
