ORDER The Court entered a Memorandum Opinion and Order (Document 59) on January 5, 2016, granting a motion to hold the Defendant in civil contempt and imposing a $30,000 per day sanction. On February 25, 2016, the Court entered judgment in favor of the United States for a total civil contempt sanction of $1,230,000. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the civil contempt fines in an opinion entered on August 17, 2018. In the months since the Fourth Circuit’s decision, the Court has periodically requested status updates.

In the most recent status update, filed on April 19, 2019, the parties indicated that review of discovery materials was nearing completion. The United States indicated that after finalizing discovery, it “will determine what collection efforts it will undertake to recover the penalty imposed by the Court.” (Joint Status Report, Document 123).
