IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
IN RE MAGISTRATE DUTIES
AND RESPONSIBILITIES
GENERAL ORDER NO. 17
Under the Rules of this Court, the full-time United States Magistrates of this district are
authorized to conduct debtor examinations. On occasion, persons who have been summoned to
appear at such examinations fail to do so, and it appears that there is a need to direct such persons
to show cause why they should not be held in contempt of court.
THEREFORE, the Court hereby authorizes the full-time Magistrates of this district to issue
show cause orders, conduct necessary hearings on such matters, and to report and recommend to the
District Court the action they feel should be taken.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 24th day of February, 1981.
