TENTATIVE RULING - WEISCHADLE
MOTION FOR AN OSC RE CONTEMPT-GRANTED.  THIS IS NOT A TRIAL OF CONTEMPT.  BECAUSE PLAINTIFF IS SELF-REPRESENTED, SHE CANNOT ISSUE AN OSC RE CONTEMPT.  ACCORDINGLY,, THE COURT GRANTS THE REQUEST FOR ISSUANCE OF THE OSC RE CONTEMPT SO THAT THE MATTER MAY BE HEARD.  PLAINTIFF RAISES AN ISSUE ABOUT WHETHER THERE WAS A KNOWING VIOLATION OF A COURT ORDER CONCERNING THE DEFENSE ISSUANCE OF A SUBPOENA WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS.

ALTERNATIVELY, THE COURT COULD CONSIDER THIS A MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER AND SET A BRIEFING SCHEDULE AND HEARING DATE.
