App’x 423, 423 (6th Cir. 2004). On July 8, 2004, the district court ordered Goff to testify, and he again refused, this time invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. See id. On July 13, 2004, the district court issued an order granting Goff immunity for his testimony and compelling him to testify, but he still refused. See id. The district court found Goff in civil contempt and ordered him incarcerated under the contempt order until he testified or the grand jury term expired. See id. at 423-24. Goff appealed, and this Court affirmed the finding of contempt and order of confinement. See id. at 424.
