IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Judge John L. Kane

Civil Action No. 01-cv-00275-JLK DOMINICK PAOLONI, et al., Plaintiffs, v. DONALD I. GOLDSTEIN, et al., Defendants. and, NBSA, LLC, et al., Relief Defendants. ________________________________________________________________________ ORDER ________________________________________________________________________ Kane, J. In Orders entered on December 15, 2006 and January 30, 2007, I found Mr. Wolok in civil contempt and ordered him to pay $262,499.00 into the Registry of the Court to purge the contempt. The payment amount represents the amount by which I found Plaintiffs had been damaged as a result of Mr. Wolok' violations of the March 2, s 2001 Preliminary Injunction. The deadline for this payment, February 15, 2007, has passed without the required payment. Under the terms of the two Orders, such non-payment was to trigger issuance of an arrest warrant for Mr. Wolok and his incarceration until such time as he fully complied with the Orders.

If Plaintiffs maintain that the contempt proceeding may continue with the arrest and incarceration of Mr. Wolok until payment is made, I will provide Mr. Wolok with an opportunity to respond to Plaintiffs'statement.
