Background
The court considered a June 28, 2019 Report and Recommendation by United States Magistrate Judge Tony L. Leung. The opinion states that no objections were filed. Without timely objections, the court reviewed the recommendation for clear error on the face of the record and found none.
Ruling
The court adopted the Report and Recommendation. It held Sidebar Legal, PC and its sole owner, officer, and agent, Matthew Wilson, in contempt for failing to comply with the court’s March 4, 2019 order.
The court issued a warrant for Wilson’s arrest but stayed it until November 27, 2019. The stay allowed Sidebar Legal and Wilson to purge the contempt by complying with the March 4 order. The court also ordered the plaintiffs to file a declaration by December 11, 2019, addressing whether Sidebar Legal and Wilson had complied within the required period. If the declaration indicated that they had not complied, the United States Marshals Service was ordered to execute the arrest warrant.
