8.071 SHOW CAUSE ORDERS - CONTEMPT OF COURT
(1) A show cause order for contempt of court shall be contained in a separate document
from any other show cause order or orders for other relief.  Such orders shall require
the responding party to personally appear in court at the time established by the court
which shall be at least fourteen (14) days after the date of service of the order on the
responding party.  The moving party must also appear and be prepared to proceed at
the time and date stated in the order.
(2) The failure of the moving party to appear at the stated date and time, or to be prepared
to proceed at such time, will result in dismissal of the contempt proceeding unless the
court finds extenuating circumstances and orders the continuation of the proceedings.
(3) The hearing will be held at the date and time stated in the order unless the court orders
the matter to be specifically set for hearing at a later date.
(4) Every show cause order for contempt of court shall contain the following notice:
NOTICE
You must personally appear in the above-entitled court and case at the date and time specified
in this Order. If you fail to appear in court at such date and time, you may be arrested and held
in custody for the purpose of being brought before the court to answer the contempt charges
which have been made against you.
