While confirming the facts set out in Mr. Vartanian’s affidavit and effectively conceding prima facie contempt, the Plaintiff and Mr. Freeborn nonetheless urge the Court to exercise its discretion and refuse to issue the show cause order. For the reasons that follow, a show cause order shall issue against the alleged contemnors, the Plaintiff and Mr. Shawn Freeborn.
