LAS VEGAS, Nev.?Nevada District Court Judge Kenneth C. Cory issued an order Wednesday in Consipio v. Private that found Private Media Group and four members of the Private Board of Directors in contempt of court ?for 18 days of disobedience to the clear and unambiguous order of the court.? The order levied an overall fine of $360,000 against the parties, to be applied to the above four directors individually and also to Private as a corporate entity, with each ordered to pay $72,000.
However, the contempt order appears to be in direct conflict with an order issued one day earlier by the Nevada Supreme Court granting a temporary stay of the lower court?s contempt proceedings against Berth Milton. Milton, who is claiming that the court does not have personal jurisdiction over him, is one of the four directors found to be personally liable by Judge Cory. Also, in March of this year, District Court Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez, the presiding judge in Consipio v Private, granted motions seeking the dismissal from the case of two other directors fined this week by Judge Cory, Bo Rodebrandt and Peter Dixinger, after determining that the court did not have personal jurisdiction over them.
