On March 27, 2018, Plaintiff registered the foreign judgment in the Eastern District of California. (ECF No. 1.)

On May 14, 2018, Plaintiff filed an application for Ranjit S. Dhaliwal to appear for examination. (ECF No. 6.)

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff shall file supplemental briefing on or before August 17, 2018, addressing the Court's authority to issue an arrest warrant without an order to show cause when a judgment debtor does not appear for examination.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
