UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN

SOUTHERN DIVISION

DANIEL KORREY,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 1:10-cv-755

v.

HON. ROBERT J. JONKER

MERLE FERGUSON, et al.,

Defendants.

__________________________________/

SANCTIONS ORDER ENFORCING PRIOR COURT ORDERS

On May 29, 2012, the Court entered an Order (docket # 160) granting-in-part and denying-in-

part Plaintiff’s Motion to enforce its Judgment against Defendants (docket # 143). The Order

required Defendants to, among other things, submit to debtor’s examinations no later June 29, 2012,

and to provide current financial statements to Plaintiff no later than June 12, 2012, that were signed

under penalty of perjury and fully disclosed each Defendant’s respective financial position. (docket

# 160.) The Court also required the parties to “file a brief with the Court explaining whether a

receiver should be appointed in this case, particularly given the new action filed by the Judgment

Debtors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (No. 3:12-cv-

1037), seeking to rescind the settlement agreement that led to entry of Judgment in this action.” ( Id.)

On June 25, 2012, Plaintiff’s filed a Motion for Sanctions and to Hold Defendants in Contempt of

Court, alleging continued failure to comply with the debtor examination subpoenas, as well as the

Court’s requirement that Defendants provide up-to-date financial statements to Plaintiff. (docket

# 184.) This Motion was filed on the heels of another sanction motion Plaintiff filed on May 24,

2012, based on similar non-compliance with the Court’s Orders. (docket # 157.) On July 12, 2012,

Case 1:10-cv-00755-RJJ Doc #208 Filed 08/30/12 Page 1 of 6 Page ID#1756

EXHIBIT 2 P. 3



25/43

Plaintiff’s filed a Preliminary Injunction Motion, again noting Defendants’ continued non-

compliance and further requesting the Court to freeze $2.5 million in assets that a Worldwide

shareholder (not a party to this case) allegedly placed in an attorney trust account as collateral to

cover the judgment. (docket # 198.) Defendants were given the opportunity to respond to these

Motions, but failed to do so, other than to indicate that they did not oppose the appointment of a

receiver. (docket # 169.) After reviewing all relevant matters of record, the Court GRANTS

Plaintiff’s Motions for Sanctions (docket ## 157, 184) as set forth below, DENIES these Motions

in all other respects, and also DENIES Plaintiff’s Preliminary Injunction Motion.

After reviewing the record, it is clear that Defendants have failed to comply with, and in

some cases affirmatively refused to follow, the Court’s previous Orders in several respects. First,

Defendants failed to provide updated copies of complete financial statements signed under penalty

of perjury. Instead, Defendant Worldwide Food Services, Inc. (“Worldwide”) provided an

incomplete, outdated excel spreadsheet summarizing some aspects of its financial condition, but it

was not current as the Court required. Key documents referred to in the spreadsheet were also

notably absent, as was a corporate officer’s signature under penalty of perjury. Moreover,

Worldwide has also failed to supplement these statements on a monthly basis as the Court required.

As for the individual Defendants, neither of them even attempted to provide a financial statement

that would satisfy the Court’s requirements. Plaintiff’s counsel provided Defendants an opportunity

to remedy these deficiencies, but they refused. (docket ## 184-2 through 184-4.) Second,

Worldwide provided the incorrect judgment amount in its amended disclosure statement to Pink

Sheets, LLC and its investors, misstating the amount by over $20,000. (docket # 185-4, at 22.)

Standing alone, the Court might be willing to attribute this to a typographical error, but when viewed

2


EXHIBIT 2 P. 4



26/43

against Defendants’ pattern of conduct traceable to the beginning of the case, it further evidences

disregard of the Court’s Order.

Defendants’ flat refusal to submit to debtor’s examinations represents a flagrant disregard

of the Court’s Order, as the Court specifically required Defendants to submit to debtor’s

examinations on or before June 29, 2012. Plaintiff provided notice of these debtor’s examinations

for June 25, 2012, but on the day before, defense counsel informed Plaintiff that no one would

appear, despite being advised of the Court’s Order “that . . . mandate[d] them appearing for the

Debtor’s Exam . . . and the potential ramifications of their failure to appear.” (docket # 184-4, at 2.)

Based on the record before it, the Court finds Defendants have no possible explanation for their

refusal other than willful disregard amounting to contempt of Court.

The Court’s authority to hold a party in civil contempt has two primary purposes: to compel

obedience and to compensate injuries. See Glover v. Johnson, 199 F.3d 310, 313 (6th Cir. 1999).

There is no dispute that Defendants had notice of the Court’s Order, and consciously chose to

disregard it. See NLRB v. Cinn. Bronze, Inc., 829 F.2d 585, 591 (6th Cir. 1987) (holding litigant may

be held in contempt when adverse party shows by clear and convincing evidence that litigant violated

“a definite and specific order of the court requiring him to perform or refrain from performing a

particular act or acts with knowledge of the court’s order” (quoting SEC v. First Fin. Group of Tex.,

Inc., 659 F.2d 660, 669 (5th Cir. 1981)). Defendants were given ample time to respond to Plaintiff’s

Motions after receiving notice of them, but failed to do so. Banner v. City of Flint , 99 Fed. App’x

29 (6th Cir. 2004) (citing Wilson-Simmons v. Lake County Sheriff’s Dep’t , 207 F.3d 818 (6th Cir.

2000) (“A court must give notice and afford an attorney opportunity to be heard before imposing

3


EXHIBIT 2 P. 5



27/43

sanctions . . . but not formal notice detailing the penalties or a full evidentiary hearing.”) Therefore,

sanctions are appropriate.

Regarding appropriate sanctions at this time, the Court concludes that a fine of $1,000 per

day, per Defendant, is appropriate, until Defendants comply with all aspects of the Court’s previous

Order (docket # 160). This includes, without limitation, providing complete financial statements

signed under penalty of perjury, and each Defendant submitting to a debtor’s examination.

Defendants shall also provide an explanation, supported by a sworn affidavit, regarding the $2.5

million allegedly placed in the attorney trust account. Defendants are required to comply within 30

days of this Order, and file a Notice of Compliance with the Court. See United States v. State of

Tenn., 925 F. Supp. 1292 (1995) (outlining the standard for judging compliance in this Circuit). If

Defendants fail to comply within this period, Plaintiff is invited to file another motion for sanctions

based on this noncompliance. Defendants’ continued failure to comply will result in the Court

imposing additional sanctions, which may include a warrant being issued for the arrest of Defendants

Ferguson and Donohue and a period of incarceration until Defendants have complied with the

Court’s Orders. See In re Burkman Supply, Inc., 217 B.R. 223, 226 (W.D. Mich. 1998) (emphasis

added).

As for Plaintiff’s request for a court-appointed receiver, the Court requires additional

information from Plaintiff before proceeding with this course of action under FED. R. CIV. P. 66. At

the outset, the Court notes Defendants no longer oppose a receiver being appointed for Worldwide

(docket # 169). The Court also notes that the facts now of record would appear to support

appointment of receiver. However, before the Court can decide on the propriety of this remedy,

Plaintiff must identify an individual that is willing to serve as a receiver in this case and provide the

4


EXHIBIT 2 P. 6



28/43

Court with the curriculum vitae for any such individual. Plaintiff must also explain how the

individual will be compensated for his or her services. The cost of a court-appointed receiver is no

doubt ultimately recoverable against Defendants, but as a practical matter, someone has to arrange

payment for a receiver along the way to induce someone to accept the job. Additionally, Plaintiff

must provide the Court with a written summary explaining how it believes a receivership would

assist in this case. On the current record, the Court is unclear as to how a receivership would

function, given the rather fluid nature of Worldwide’s business, and the complete lack of cooperation

on the part of Defendants in providing even the most basic financial and business operations

information.

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT Plaintiff’s Motions for Sanctions and to Hold

Defendants in Contempt of Court (docket # 157, 184) is GRANTED to the extent above, and

DENIED in all other respects. Each Defendant’s daily fine of $1,000 for noncompliance is payable

to the Clerk of the Court, beginning August 31, 2012, and continuing day-to-day thereafter until the

Court certifies a Notice of Compliance. If this coercive sanction fails to secure compliance, the

Court will consider a warrant for arrest and imprisonment as an additional coercive sanction to

achieve compliance with the Court’s Orders.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT Plaintiff’s Motion for a Preliminary Injunction

(docket # 198) is DENIED. As the Court noted in a previous Order (docket # 160), this matter has

proceeded past judgment, and a preliminary injunction is therefore no longer the appropriate vehicle

for the relief Plaintiff seeks. Rather, the case has proceeded to collection, with the usual enforcement

mechanisms and limitations applicable at this stage. The Court’s denial is without prejudice to

Plaintiff requesting assets being frozen and additional enforcement measures taken after the 30-day

compliance period has expired.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
