RE: Records request for client file of Neil J. Gillespie-July-13-2015

Dear Mr. Gillespie,

In response to your request dated June 24, 2015, your payment was received on July 10,
2015; I anticipate the personnel file of Ms. Maria Castagliuolo will be produced for you
tomorrow. As you have requested, I will email a PDF of the records to this email address.

In response to your request dated July 13, 2015, please be advised that I can find no records
to indicate you are or have been a client of this office; we do not have any file to provide to
you. It appears that in 2011, correspondence was mailed to your home address by this office.
The envelope was inadvertently pre-marked with an attorney client privilege warning, but I
assure you there is no record that you are or have been a client of this office.

Thank you,

Nichole Hanscom

THE COURT:

Take care.

All right.

Let the record reflect that

Mr. Gillespie was personally served with my order

ordering him to appear this morning to show cause why

he should not be held in civil contempt of court for

his failure to give a deposition, appear at a

deposition, give a deposition and produce documents

requested pursuant to a subpoena duces tecum.

MR. RODEMS:

duces tecum, Your Honor.

THE COURT:

Therefore, I'm going to issue a

13

warrant for his arrest and order that he be picked up

14

and brought before the Court to show cause why I

15

shouldn't hold him in civil contempt of court.

16

Is there anything else we need to take up this

morning?
MR. RODEMS:

Your Honor, is that writ that you're

referring to -- is that something Your Honor will

21

prepare?

I have prepared a proposed one.

22

THE COURT:

23

MR. RODEMS:

24

THE COURT:

25

I'll take a look at your proposed.

Yes, sir.
This just says for failure to appear

for deposition as ordered by the Court.

It should be

for failure to appear at deposition and produce

documents pursuant to the subpoena duces tecum.

MR. RODEMS:

THE COURT:

Yes, sir.
The only problem is it says for

immediate -- immediately within 48 hours; however, if

for some reason the gentleman is picked up in another

county, they would have to bring him back, and also the

fact that if he was picked up on a Friday evening, say,

at seven o'clock on a Friday evening, the 48 hours

10

would run on a Sunday evening, so I'm going to change

11

that to 72 hours.

Yes, sir, I will.

Honor.

Thank you so much.
