Anthony Sharpe, Plaintiff, v. City of Southfield, et al., Defendants.
David R. Grand, Mag. Judge.
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO SHOW CAUSE [47]
JUDITH E. LEVY, United States District Judge.
Before the Court is a motion for an order to show cause filed by Defendants William Pieroni, Christopher Don, Steven Hendricks, and Joseph Martinez. (ECF No. 47.) The motion seeks, among other forms of relief, an order requiring Lamont Sharpe Sr. and Lamont Sharpe Jr. to show cause why they have not appeared for their depositions even though they have been subpoenaed to do so. On March 29, 2023, the Court held a hearing on the motion by video conference. Neither Lamont Sharpe Sr. nor Lamont Sharpe Jr. appeared at the hearing, and the Court has received no filings regarding Defendants' motion submitted by these individuals or on their behalf. Prior to the hearing, the Court mailed a copy of the hearing notice to Lamont Sharpe Sr. and Lamont Sharpe Jr. The notice was not returned to the Court as undeliverable.
Defendants' motion is GRANTED to the extent Defendants seek an order requiring Lamont Sharpe Sr. and Lamont Sharpe Jr. to show cause. Therefore, on April 20, 2023 at 3:30 p.m., Lamont Sharpe Sr. and Lamont Sharpe Jr. must appear in person before this Court (located at the Federal Building, 200 East Liberty Street, Courtroom 100, Ann Arbor MI 48014) to show cause why they should not be held in contempt of Court for failing to appear for their depositions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
