Re: United States of America vs. Joseph M. Arpaio,

U.S. District Court, District of Arizona Case No. 2:16-cr-01012-SRB
Dear Mr. Attorney General:
The Department of Justice is presently prosecuting the above referenced criminal

contempt charge against former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. A bench trial is
scheduled to begin in Phoenix on Monday, June 26, 2017. The action was improperly
brought by the DOJ under 18 U.S.C. Section 401 as more particularly described in the
Petition for Writ of Mandamus that is presently pending before the United States
Supreme Court (the Petition), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. We
request that you review this matter prior to the commencement of the trial, and at the very
least, you request the trial court to stay the trial pending the review of the Petition by the
United States Supreme Court that was filed on May 24, 2017.
The criminal contempt allegations stem from an alleged failure of the Maricopa
County Sheriffs Offices (MCSO) to comply with an Order of the Court (preliminary
injunction) dated December 23, 2011. This charge relates back to the prior Obama
administration and a time when the Sheriffs practices were in direct opposition to
the Obama administration in regards to immigration policy. The Sheriff was
enforcing the law. The Obama administration appears to have been interested in
doing the opposite for apparent political reasons.

8 U.S.C. Section 1357(g)(10) allows political subdivisions of a state to

communicate with the Attorney General regarding the immigration status of any
individual, including reporting knowledge that a particular alien is not lawfully
present in the United States; or otherwise cooperate with the Attorney General in
the identification, apprehension, detention, or removal of aliens not lawfully
present in the United States. This is precisely the activity that MCSO was involved
in that allegedly violated the Courts order. Sheriff Arpaio is being prosecuted for
criminal contempt for allowing this lawful activity to occur in MCSO.
The political actions taken against Sheriff Arpaio are not unlike the apparent
political actions taken by Former FBI Director Comey in relation to his
pronouncements regarding then presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and the
investigation of her. Whether Director Comey intended to influence the election is
irrelevant. The impact on candidate Clinton was clear.
In the case of Sheriff Arpaio, there were certain announcements by the Court
or Department of Justice officials that occurred coincident with Arizona voting
deadlines in 2016. The announcements influenced the election. The
announcements involved the Courts referral of the matter for criminal contempt
and the Department of Justices announcement that it would, in fact, proceed with
the prosecution. These announcements had an undeniable effect upon Sheriff
Arpaios campaign to be elected to a seventh term in office. The impact on Sheriff
Arpaios re-election campaign is clear. He is no longer Sheriff. (I have attached
two timelines of certain actions, by certain parties, and the media, in relation to
occurrences in the case. See Exhibit B attached hereto.)
In regards to other aspects of the prosecution, we request that you reconsider

the DOJs prosecution of this matter because it was incorrectly brought under 18
U.S.C. Section 401. Section 401 relates to a simple criminal contempt of a lawful
order. The matter should have been brought under 18 U.S.C. Section 402. Section
402 applies to contumacious conduct that is also a separate crime as more
particularly described in the attached Petition. The allegations in this matter
compel it to be prosecuted under 18 U.S.C. Section 402 that entitles the offender to
a jury trial in accordance with 18 U.S.C. Section 3691. Additionally, Section 402
offenses come with a one year statute of limitations. Given that the matter was not

charged under the correct statute, and consequently the Department of Justice has
deprived Sheriff Arpaio of his jury trial right and the applicable statute of
limitations, in the interest of justice we request that you move the Court to dismiss
the criminal contempt proceedings or, at the very least, move the Court to stay the
trial pending a full review of this matter by your office.
Time is of the essence for the reason that this matter is set to commence trial
on June 26, 2017. We request that you, at a minimum, move to adjourn this trial so
that your office may review the genesis of this prosecution, the incorrect
application by the DOJ of 18 USC Section 401 in lieu of Section 402, and the
pending Petition for Writ of Mandamus that is presently pending at the Supreme
Court of the United States.

PETITION FOR MANDAMUS

_________
Joseph M. Arpaio (Petitioner) respectful-

ly petitions for a writ of mandamus to the Dis-
trict Court of Arizona granting his request for a
trial by jury at his upcoming trial for criminal
contempt scheduled to begin on June 26th, 2017.
OPINIONS BELOW
The Ninth Circuit Order denying the Peti-
tion, without opinion, is Docket Entry 11 in Case
No. 17-71094, and is included in the Appendix at
Exhibit A.
The orders of the Arizona District Court
denying Petitioners requests for jury trial are
Dkt. 83 and Dkt. 132 in Arizona District Court
Case No. 2:16-cr-01012-SRB. They are attached
as Exhibits B and C to the Appendix, respec-
tively.
STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION
The order of the Ninth Circuit denying the
Petition is dated May 18th, 2017. Petitioner filed
a request for a rehearing on May 18th. The Ninth
Circuit has not yet ruled on Petitioners request
for rehearing. However, because Petitioners trial
begins in one month (June 26th), Petitioner
cannot afford to wait to file this Petition until
after a ruling on the request for rehearing, which
may take weeks. The Petition is therefore filed,
2
strictly, under this Courts Rule 11. Jurisdiction

of this Court is invoked under 28 U.S.C.A.
1651.
CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY

PROVISIONS INVOLVED
28 U.S.C.A. 1651 provides that: (a) The

Supreme Court and all courts established by Act
of Congress may issue all writs necessary or
appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdic-
tions and agreeable to the usages and principles
of law. (b) An alternative writ or rule nisi may be
issued by a justice or judge of a court which has
jurisdiction.
18 U.S.C.A. 3691 provides that: When-

ever a contempt charged shall consist in willful
disobedience of any lawful writ, process, order,
rule, decree, or command of any district court of
the United States by doing or omitting any act or
thing in violation thereof, and the act or thing
done or omitted also constitutes a criminal of-
fense under any Act of Congress, or under the
laws of any state in which it was done or omit-
ted, the accused, upon demand therefor, shall be
entitled to trial by a jury, which shall conform as
near as may be to the practice in other criminal
cases. This section shall not apply to contempts
committed in the presence of the court, or so
near thereto as to obstruct the administration of
3
justice, nor to contempts committed in disobedi-

ence of any lawful writ, process, order, rule,
decree, or command entered in any suit or action
brought or prosecuted in the name of, or on
behalf of, the United States.
18 U.S.C.A. 242 provides that: Whoever,

under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regu-
lation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in
any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Posses-
sion, or District to the deprivation of any rights,
privileges, or immunities secured or protected by
the Constitution or laws of the United States, or
to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on
account of such person being an alien, or by
reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed
for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined
under this title or imprisoned not more than one
year, or both; and if bodily injury results from
the acts committed in violation of this section or
if such acts include the use, attempted use, or
threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explo-
sives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or
imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and
if death results from the acts committed in viola-
tion of this section or if such acts include kid-
napping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated
sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravat-
ed sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be
fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term
of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced
to death.

with judicial proceedings); and A.R.S. 13-1303
(Unlawful imprisonment) are also involved,
and their pertinent text is set forth in Appendix
F.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Petitioner requests a jury trial under

18 U.S.C.A. 3691 at his trial for criminal con-
tempt scheduled to begin on June 26th, 2017.
Petitioner is the former democratically-elected
Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. The district
court referred the Petitioner for criminal prose-
cution on August 19th, 2016,1 and entered a
formal Order to Show Cause pursuant to
Fed.R.Crim.P.42 on October 25th, 2016.2 Peti-
tioner requested a trial by jury under
18 U.S.C.A. 3691 on January 25th, 2017.3 The

Petitioner again requested a trial by jury under
18 U.S.C.A. 3691 on April 10th, 2017.5 The
district court again denied the request, without
analysis, on April 10, 2017,6 and stated on the
record that it will not entertain any further
requests for a trial by jury. Petitioner filed a
Petition for Mandamus to the Ninth Circuit on
April 14, 2017.7 On May 18th, 2017, the Ninth
Circuit Motions Panel denied the request with-
out opinion.8 Petitioner filed a Petitioner for a
Rehearing the same day, May 18th, 2017. Be-
cause Petitioners trial is scheduled to begin on
June 26th, Petitioner cannot afford to wait for a
ruling on the Motion for Rehearing before filing
this Petition, and Petitioner requests that the

REASONS FOR GRANTING THE PETITION
Petitioner is entitled to a jury trial under

18 U.S.C.A. 3691, because Defendant is
charged with criminal contempt for willfully
arresting persons without cause. 18 U.S.C.A.
3691 provides that a defendant is entitled to a
jury trial if his criminal contempt, as charged,
constitutes a separate crime. Arresting persons
without cause and under color of state law is a
crime under 18 U.S.C.A. 242. Therefore, De-
fendant is entitled to a trial by jury. The wrong-
ful deprivation of a jury trial is traditionally
reviewable by mandamus. But even if it were
not, the Defendants right here is so clear, that
there is nothing gained by reserving this issue
for a direct appeal. Defendant will suffer a
wrongful trial and could suffer a wrongful sen-
tence. If Defendant, who is eighty-four years old,
dies before a reversal on direct appeal, then the
sentence will stand. Judicial economy also coun-
sels in favor of review by mandamus, since order-
ing a jury trial in the first instance is less try-
ing on the court than conducting a wrongful
bench trial and second retrial by jury. Finally,
this case is of extraordinary public interest,
which uniquely counsels in favor of issuing
mandamus to direct a trial by jury. This is a
prosecution for criminal contempt that was
7
initiated by the district court against a demo-

cratically-elected Sheriff. If mandamus does not
issue, then the district court will be sitting in
judgment of its own prosecution of the defend-
ant, an elected officer in a competing branch of
government. This already subjects any verdict to
a certain degree of public suspicion, other than
raising the specter of something undemocratic.
But if the verdict is reversed on direct appeal (for
failure to grant a jury trial), then it strongly
signals to the public that the district court
lacked independence or fealty to our democratic
system. By issuing mandamus now, the Court
avoids such public scrutiny and disapproval.
The issue of whether mandamus must is-
sue to correct the wrongful deprivation of a jury
trial also implicates a long-unresolved circuit
split, which Justice Byron White identified in his
dissent to Kamen v. Nordberg, 485 U.S. 939
(1988).
Because Petitioners trial is set for June
26 , 2017, Petitioner files a Motion for Expedit-
th
ed Consideration herewith, and requests that the

Court consider this Petition at its conference on
June 15th. Each of the foregoing points is ad-
dressed in more detail below.
I. Defendant is entitled to a jury
trial
18 U.S.C.A. 3691 provides that the de-
fendant is entitled to a jury in any criminal
contempt case where the contempt
chargedalso constitutes a criminal offense
8
under any Act of Congress, or under the laws of

any state in which it was done or omitted. The
contempt charged in this case constitutes a
criminal offense under 18 U.S.C.A. 242 (Dep-
rivation of Civil Rights), and so Defendant is
entitled to a trial by jury.9
Defendant is charged with stop[ping] and
detain[ing] persons based on factors including
their race, and frequently arrest[ing] and deliv-
er[ing] such persons to ICE when there were no
state charges to bring against them.10 This
9 The charged contempt also constitutes other

federal and state criminal offenses, but this
one is the most obvious, and fully encom-
passes the conduct charged. Other offenses
include 18 U.S.C.A. 241 (Conspiracy
against rights); A.R.S. 13-1303 (Unlawful
imprisonment); 18 U.S.C.A. 1509 (Ob-
struction of court orders); and A.R.S. 13-
2810(A)(2)(Interference with judicial pro-
ceedings).
10
See Order to Show Cause, attached as Exhibit
D to the Appendix. The Order to Show
Cause alleged that these acts were committed
in violation of a district court order enjoining
Defendant and the Maricopa County Sheriffs
Officefrom enforcing federal civil immigra-
tion law or from detaining persons they be-
lieved to be in the country without authoriza-
tion but against whom they had no state
charges.
9
constitutes a criminal offense under 18 U.S.C.A.

242, which authorizes the punishment of two
different offenses. The one is willfully subjecting
any [person, under color of law] to the depriva-
tion of rights secured by the Constitution; the
other is willfully subjecting any [person, under
color of law] to different punishments on account
of his color or race, than are prescribed for the
punishment of citizens. United States v. Classic,
313 U.S. 299, 327 (1941) (describing section 20 of
former 18 U.S.C.A. 52, now 18 U.S.C. 242).11
A state enforcement officer who, under color of
state law, willfully, without cause, arrests or
imprisons a person or injures one who is legally
free, commits an offense under 18 U.S.C.A.
242. This undisputed conclusion is amply sup-
ported by the decisions of this Court, in cases
such as Ex parte State of Virginia, 100 U.S. 339
(1879); United States v. Classic, 313 U.S. at
299; Home Telephone & Telegraph Co. v. Los
Angeles, 227 U.S. 278 (1913); Chambers v. Flori-
da, 309 U.S. 227 (1940); Brown v. Mississippi,
297 U.S. 278 (1936); Powell v. Alabama, 287 U.S.
45 (1932); and Moore v. Dempsey, 261 U.S. 86
(1923).
The contempt that was charged in this
case constitutes the same offense described
above. Petitioner, a county Sheriff, was charged
11 18 U.S.C.A. 242 and the former 18 U.S.C.A.
52 are identical in all relevant parts, except
that the word inhabitant has been replaced
with the word person.
10
with willfully detaining and arresting persons

without state charges, based on factors includ-
ing their race. This is clearly the same as will-
fully subjecting any [person, under color of law]
to the deprivation of rights secured by the Con-
stitution, or willfully subjecting any [person,
under color of law] to different punishments on
account of his color or race, than are prescribed
for the punishment of citizens. Because the
contempt with which Petitioner was charged also
constitutes a criminal offense, Petitioner is
entitled to a trial by jury as a matter of law.
II. Defendant is entitled to manda-
mus relief
The issue then becomes whether manda-
mus relief is available to Petitioner at this stage
of the proceedings. The Ninth Circuit Motions
Panels Order simply stated that Petitioner has
not demonstrated that this case warrants the
intervention of this court by means of the ex-
traordinary remedy of mandamus. The decision
by the Ninth Circuit Motions Panel to deny
Petitioners request on the grounds that the
issue is not extraordinary enough to warrant
its intervention is inconsistent not only with the
clear precedent of the Ninth Circuit and many
others, but also with the precedent of this Court.
The Ninth Circuit has held that where, as here,
the mandamus petition alleges the erroneous
deprivation of a jury trialthe only question
presented is whether the district court erred in
denying petitioners request for a jury trial. In
11
re Cty. of Orange, 784 F.3d 520, 526 (9th Cir.

2015), cert. denied sub nom. Tata Consultancy
Servs. Ltd. v. Cty. of Orange, Cal., 136 S. Ct. 808
(2016)(internal ellipsis omitted). The right to a
jury trial has occupied an exceptional place in
the history of the law of federal mandamus. Id.,
784 F.3d at 526. For that reason, we will grant
mandamus where necessary to protect the con-
stitutional right to trial by jury. If the plaintiffs
are entitled to a jury trial, their right to the writ
is clear. Id. (citing Charles Alan Wright et al.,
Fed. Prac. & Proc. Juris. 3935.1 (3d ed.2014)).
The First Circuit reached the same conclusion in
a criminal case concerning a statutory right to
jury trial: We take the position that mandamus
would be appropriate if a jury trial were re-
quired, and any denial of mandamus should be
made only if either the case has not been ade-
quately presented or there is no such right to a
jury trial. In re Union Nacional De Trabaja-
dores, 502 F.2d 113, 116 (1st Cir. 1974), vacated
on other grounds, 527 F.2d 602 (1975).12 The
Courts Opinion in In re Peterson, 253 U.S. 300,
30506 (1920) provided the rationale for these
decisions: if proceedingswould deprive peti-
tioner of his right to a trial by jury, the order
12
Also cited by Justice White in his dissent to
the denial of certiorari in Kamen v. Nordberg,
485 U.S. at 939.
12
should, as was said in Ex parte Simons,13 be

dealt with now, before the plaintiff is put to the
difficulties and the courts to the inconvenience
that would be raised by a proceeding that ulti-
mately must be held to have been required under
a mistake. (Internal quotations and citations
omitted, emphasis added.) This Court has stated
that [w]hatever differences of opinion there may
be in other types of cases, we think the right to
grant mandamus to require jury trial where it
has been improperly denied is settled. Beacon
Theatres, Inc. v. Westover, 359 U.S. 500, 511
(1959).14
The rationale for issuing mandamus to di-
rect a jury trial is even more compelling in this
case. Petitioners right to a jury trial is simple,
and clear. There is nothing to be gained by
pushing off a decision on the issue until after
the court has already conducted a bench trial,
wrongfully. Defendant will be subjected to the
harm and expense of an unnecessary criminal

undone. Defendant is eighty-four years old, and

the possibility that he may not outlive a convic-
tion and appeal, i.e. that he may die after a
conviction but before it is reversedsuch that
the conviction standscannot be overlooked. See
Timonds v. Hunter, 169 Iowa 598, 151 N.W. 961,
962 (1915)(finding that defendants health and
age of eighty-six years old were factors support-
ing grant of an interlocutory appeal on the right
to a jury trial, because his expectancy of life is
very brief; [a]n adverse judgment would fix his
status for the time being; and [i]f he should die
before his appeal could be heard and determined,
it is doubtful at least whether his appeal would
not be abated thereby). Correcting the depriva-
tion of a jury trial by mandamus also offers
benefits in terms of judicial economy, because
one jury trial is always less burdensome than a
bench trial followed by another retrial to a jury.
Because there is a strong constitutional prefer-
ence for jury trials, especially in a criminal case,
and because conducting a jury trial is very rarely
(if ever) deemed erroneous per se, courts rarely
refuse them. So in practical terms, encouraging
the review of this issue by mandamus will not
open a floodgates or otherwise overwhelm the
appellate courts. (Nor has it overwhelmed any of
the circuits that do encourage mandamus on this
issue, such as the Ninth.) Given the importance
of jury trials to the American judicial system,
courts of review should not be shy of aggres-
sively protecting the right.
14
Finally, the public interest in this case

uniquely counsels in favor of issuing mandamus
to grant a jury trial, as partly addressed above.
The courts use of its criminal contempt power to
initiate a criminal prosecution is, ab initio, a
rare incursion into authority that is normally
reserved for the executive branch. When the
court accedes to such executive powers, it should
be especially careful to avoid exercising the full
extent of its adjudicative authority, and it should
cede that authority whenever possible to another
independent body, such as a jury. This not only
avoids the appearance of bias, but it helps to
preserve a fundamental separation of powers in
between the judicial and executive branches.
These kinds of concerns are dramatically height-
ened in this case, because the Defendant is
charged with committing criminal contempt as a
democratically-elected sheriff, i.e. a member of
the executive branch. This case presents a direct
clash of the authority of the judicial and execu-
tive branches, which only a jury can decide in a
way that inspires plenary confidence by the
public in the result. If the court refuses to grant
a jury, then no matter what the outcome, it will
be wrongfuland viewed with suspicion
because it did not come from a jury. This is
harmful to the publics faith in the independence
and integrity of the judicial system, which is why
we have juries to begin with. The trial will also
be heavily publicized, making the conduct of a
second trial by jury difficult, since potential
15
jurors will have already seen and heard evidence

presented during the first trial to the court.
III. There is a circuit split on the is-
sue of mandamus relief for dep-
rivation of a jury trial
In 1988, Justice Byron White identified a
circuit split on this exact same issue, of when
mandamus relief will be available to a party who
claims that the District Court wrongly deprived
him of the right to a jury trial. Kamen v. Nord-
berg, 485 U.S. 939 (1988)(White, J. dissenting).
[T]he Seventh Circuit [holds] that mandamus
will lie to enforce a partys demand for a jury
trial only when, first, the partys right to a jury
trial is clear and indisputable and, second, the
party has no other adequate means to attain the
relief he desires.[This] conflicts with the deci-
sions of other Courts of Appeals, which hold that
mandamus relief is available to review an order
denying a claimed right of trial by jury, and that
a proper petition for mandamus in these circum-
stances obliges the Court of Appeals to address
the merits of the claimed right to a jury trial.
Id. It may also be inconsistent with this Courts
prior decisions in Beacon Theatres, Inc. v.
Westover, 359 U.S. 500, 79 S.Ct. 948, 3 L.Ed.2d
988 (1959), and Dairy Queen, Inc. v. Wood, 369
U.S. 469, 82 S.Ct. 894, 8 L.Ed.2d 44 (1962),
which emphasize the responsibility of the Courts
of Appeals to grant mandamus relief where it is
necessary to protect the constitutional right to
trial by jury. This split and ambiguity in the law
16
of mandamus has persisted over the years, and

perhaps only broadened. See e.g. Nathan A.
Forrester, Mandamus As A Remedy for the
Denial of Jury Trial, 58 U. Chi. L. Rev. 769
(1991)([a]lthough it has had the opportunity,
the Supreme Court has not yet resolved this
circuit split); Shay Lavie, Are Judges Tied to the
Past? Evidence from Jurisdiction Cases, 43
Hofstra L. Rev. 337, 358 (2014)(much ink has
been spilled in an attempt to decipher or suggest
the exact boundaries of the federal final judg-
ment rule; discussing interlocutory appeals from
wrongful deprivation of a jury trial as an exam-
ple); Mandamus or prohibition as remedy to
enforce right to jury trial, 41 A.L.R.2d 780
(Originally published in 1955)(The courts are
divided as to whether mandamus and prohibi-
tion are appropriate remedies to test a partys
right to a jury trial). While Petitioner has a
clear and present right to relief in his particular
case, the Court may regard this circuit split, and
the need for reaffirmation or clarification of its
views on this subject, as supportive of granting
this Petition.

CONCLUSION
Petitioner respectfully asks the Court to
grant this Petition by directing the district court
to conduct a trial by jury. Because Petitioners

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
United States of America,

Plaintiff,
v.
Joseph M. Arpaio,
Defendant.
No. CR-16-01012-001-PHX-SRB
ORDER
At issue are the Governments Brief in Sup-

port of Request for Bench Trial (Gov.s Mot.) (Doc.
61) and Defendant's Cross-Motion Requesting Jury
Trial (Def.s Mot.) (Doc. 62).
I. BACKGROUND
This case comes to the Court by way of a crim-
inal contempt referral from Judge Snow. (Doc. 1,
Order Re Criminal Contempt.) On October 11, 2016,
the Court held a Status Conference where the Gov-
ernment asked the Court to limit Defendant's poten-
tial penalty to no more than six months in prison and
requested a bench trial. (Doc. 27, Rep.s Tr. of Pro-
ceedings Status Conference 9:5-16.) Defendant
indicated that he wanted time to research the ques-
4a
tion of whether he was entitled to a jury trial. (Id.

15:19-16:2.) The Court declined to resolve the issue
at the Status Conference. (Id. 38:19-39:15.) On
October 25, 2016 the Court issued an Order to Show
Cause setting forth the essential facts constituting
the charged criminal contempt. (Doc. 36.) The Gov-
ernment submitted its Brief in Support of Request
for Bench Trial on December 15, 2016, Defendant
submitted a Cross-Motion Requesting Jury Trial on
December 27, 2016, and briefing concluded on Janu-
ary 9, 2017. (See Docs. 61, 62, 63, 66, 69.) The Court
heard argument on January 25, 2017. (See Doc. 71,
Minute Entry.) The Court now rules on the Govern-
ment's Request for Bench Trial and Defendants
Cross-Motion Requesting Jury Trial.
II. LEGAL STANDARD AND ANALYSIS
The Government argues that there is no con-
stitutional right to a jury trial for criminal contempt
charges if the possible sentence of imprisonment is
no greater than six months. (Gov.s Mot. at 1.) De-
fendant concedes that there is no constitutional right
to a jury trial when the maximum sentence of im-
prisonment cannot exceed six months, but argues
that the Court should, in its discretion, grant a jury
5a
trial. (Def.s Mot. at 1.)1 Defendant argues that the

Court should grant a jury trial because the objec-
tives and motives of Judge Snow will be called into
question and a trial by jury avoids any appearance
of bias or impropriety on the part of any of the
judges in the District of Arizona. (Id. at 2-3.) A
defendant charged with criminal contempt does not
have a constitutional right to a jury trial where the
conviction can result in a sentence of imprisonment
not longer than six months. See Muniz v. Hoffman,
422 U.S. 454, 475-76 (1975); United States v.
Rylander, 714 F.2d 996, 1005 (9th Cir. 1983).
At the January 25, 2017 argument, Defendant,
through his counsel, stated Judge, if the question
you posed to me was if it goes jury, all bets are off, if
it goes court, its capped, I would vote court. (Doc.
74, Rep.s Tr. of Proceedings Pretrial Conference
19:19-21.) The case law is clear, if the Court limits
Defendants potential sentence to six months or less,
there is no right to a jury trial. See Muniz, 422 U.S.
at 475-76. Furthermore, the Court has found no
precedent for granting a jury trial for a charge of
1
Defendant also argues that a jury trial is statutori-
ly required under 18 U.S.C. 3691. (Doc. 69, Def.
Joseph M. Arpaios Supp. to Reply to Gov. Resp. in
Supp. of Def.s Mot.) Section 3691, however, confers a
statutory right when the contumacious conduct also
constitutes a separate criminal offense. 18 U.S.C.
3691. As the Court explained in its December 13,
2016 Order, Defendants conduct arising out of his
disobedience of Judge Snows preliminary injunction
does not constitute a separate criminal offense, and
therefore, 3691 does not apply. (See Doc. 60, Dec.
13, 2016 Order at 2-3.)
6a
criminal contempt when the possible sentence was

limited to a maximum of six months in prison. See
e.g., Taylor v. Hayes, 418 U.S. 488, 496 (1974) ([A]
State may choose to try any contempt without a jury
if it determines not to impose a sentence longer than
six months); United States v. Aldridge, 995 F.2d 233
(9th Cir. 1993) (Table) (concluding that Defendant
had no right to a jury trial because the district court
did not sentence him to more than six months im-
prisonment or fine him more than $500); United
States v. Berry, 232 F.3d 897 (9th Cir. 2000) (Table)
(concluding that when the trial court stipulates that
it will not impose a sentence longer than six months,
Defendant was not entitled to a jury trial).
The Court finds that this case is appropriate
for a bench trial. This case focuses on the application
of facts to the law to determine if Defendant inten-
tionally violated a court order. It does not necessitate
an inquiry into the 'motives of the referring judge.
At oral argument, Defendant further explained that
he thought there was anger on the referring judges
part in making the referral. (Id. at 17:2-7.) As the
Court pointed out at oral argument, the referring
judges motives are not relevant in determining if
Defendants violations were in fact willful. (Id. at
17:11-16.) While Defendant argues that a jury trial
will prevent any appearance of impropriety, this
Court does not believe there is any such appearance.
Therefore, the Court grants Governments Request
for a Bench Trial and denies Defendants Cross-
Motion Requesting Jury Trial.
IT IS ORDERED granting the Governments Brief

in Support of Request for Bench Trial (Doc. 61).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED denying Defendants

Cross-Motion Requesting Jury Trial (Doc. 62).

APPENDIX D


Plaintiff,
v.
Joseph M. Arpaio,
Defendant.
No. CR-16-01012-001-PHX-SRB
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
This Order is entered pursuant to 18 U.S.C.

401 and Rule 42 of the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure. On October 11, 2016, the Government
stated its intention to prosecute Joseph M. Arpaio for
contempt under 18 U.S.C. 401(3) based on the
Order Re Criminal Contempt entered by United
States District Judge G. Murray Snow on August 19,
2016, in the Melendres matter. See Melendres v.
Arpaio, no. 2:07-cv-02513 (D. Ariz. Aug. 19, 2016),
Order Re Criminal Contempt, ECF No. 1792. For the
reasons set forth below, the Court issues this Order
to Show Cause as to whether Joseph M. Arpaio
should be held in criminal contempt for willful
disobedience of Judge Snows preliminary injunction
of December 23, 2011, entered in Melendres. See
Melendres, Order, ECF No. 494.
10a
The essential facts constituting the charged

criminal contempt are as follows:
In December 2011, prior to trial in the Melen-
dres case, Judge Snow entered a preliminary injunc-
tion prohibiting Sheriff Arpaio and the Maricopa
County Sheriffs Office (MCSO) from enforcing
federal civil immigration law or from detaining
persons they believed to be in the country without
authorization but against whom they had no state
charges. See Melendres, Order, ECF No. 494. The
preliminary injunction also ordered that the mere
fact that someone was in the country without author-
ization did not provide, without more facts, reasona-
ble suspicion or probable cause to believe that such a
person had violated state law. See id. Judge Snow
noted that Sheriff Arpaio admitted he knew about
the preliminary injunction upon its issuance and
thereafter. (Doc. 1677 15.) Sheriff Arpaios attorney
stated to the press that the Sheriff disagreed with
the Order and would appeal it, but would also com-
ply with it in the meantime. (Id. 14.) Sheriff Ar-
paios attorney and members of his command staff
repeatedly advised him on what was necessary to
comply with the Order.
Almost immediately after the court entered its
original October 2, 2013 injunctive order, (Doc. 606),
Judge Snow had to amend and supplement the order
and enter further orders because: (1) the Sheriff
refused to comply in good faith with the orders
requirement that he engage in community outreach,
(Doc. 670; see also Doc. 1677 368, 368 n.13), and
(2) the Sheriff and his command staff were mischar-
acterizing the content of the order to MCSO deputies
and to the general public, (Doc. 680; see also Doc.
1677 367). Within one month of those revisions, the
11a
Defendants disclosed to the court the arrest, suicide,

and subsequent discovery of misconduct of Deputy
Ramon Charley Armendariz who had been a signif-
icant witness at the trial of the underlying matter.
Among other things, the disclosure of Armendarizs
misconduct eventually resulted in the determination
that the Sheriff had intentionally done nothing to
implement the courts 2011 preliminary injunctive
order; and the Sheriff was not investigating the
allegations of misconduct in good faithespecially
those that pertained to him or to members of his
command staff.
The MCSO continued to stop and detain per-
sons based on factors including their race, (id. at
161), and frequently arrested and delivered such
persons to ICE when there were no state charges to
bring against them, (id. 15761). Judge Snow
concluded that Sheriff Arpaio did so based on the
notoriety he received for, and the campaign dona-
tions he received because of, his immigration en-
forcement activity. (Id. 5860.) Since Sheriff
Arpaio had previously taken some of his arrestees to
the Border Patrol when ICE refused to take them, he
determined that referral to the Border Patrol would
serve as his back-up plan for all similar circum-
stances going forward. (Id. 4041.) Sheriff Ar-
paios failure to comply with the preliminary injunc-
tion continued even after the Sheriffs appeal to the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals was denied. (Id.
4244.) When Plaintiffs accused Sheriff Arpaio of
violating the Order, he falsely told his lawyers that
he had been directed by federal agencies to turn over
persons whom he had stopped but for whom he had
no state charges. (Id. 5052.) Nevertheless,
Sheriff Arpaios lawyer still advised him that he was
12a
likely operating in violation of the preliminary

injunction. (Id. 53.) Although Sheriff Arpaio told
counsel on multiple occasions either that the MCSO
was operating in compliance with the Order, or that
he would revise his practices so that the MCSO was
operating in compliance with the Order, he contin-
ued to direct his deputies to arrest and deliver unau-
thorized persons to ICE or the Border Patrol. (Id.
5557.) After exhausting all of its other methods to
obtain compliance, Judge Snow referred Sheriff
Arpaios intentional and continuing non-compliance
with the courts preliminary injunction to another
Judge to determine whether he should be held in
criminal contempt. (Order Re Criminal Contempt at
12.)
THEREFORE, the Court issues a notice to
show cause as to whether Joseph M. Arpaio should
be held in criminal contempt for willful disobedience
of Judge Snows preliminary injunction of December
23, 2011.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Trial for
this matter is set for December 6, 2016 at 9:00
a.m. in the Sandra Day OConnor U.S. Courthouse,
401 W. Washington Street, Courtroom 502, Phoenix,
Arizona 85003.

ORDER
At issue are Defendants Memoranda Re: Statute of

Limitations (Docs. 34, 35, 37, & 38).1
1 Each Defendant filed a separate memorandum briefing

the applicable statute of limitations. The briefs all raise
similar arguments, so the Court will refer to one brief
throughout.
14a
I. BACKGROUND
This case arises from Judge G. Murray Snows
Order Re Criminal Contempt directing this Court to
determine whether Defendants Joseph M. Arpaio,
Steven R. Bailey, Michele Iafrate, and Gerard Sheri-
dan should be held in criminal contempt for their
conduct during their civil case. (Doc. 1, Aug. 19, 2016
Order at 31-32.) This order addresses the criminal
contempt referral of Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy
Sheridan involving the non-disclosure of 50 Mont-
gomery hard drives and the criminal contempt
referral of Chief Deputy Sheridan, Captain Bailey,
and Ms. Iafrate involving the concealment of 1,459
IDs. (Order at 6-7, 10, 15, 18-19, 27.) These aspects
of Judge Snows civil contempt proceeding have a
long history which the Court briefly summarizes
here. In the underlying civil suit, Judge Snow ap-
pointed a Monitor to oversee various Maricopa
County Sheriffs Office internal affairs investiga-
tions. Defendants were required to turn over various
related materials to the Monitor. Judge Snow or-
dered Sheriff Arpaio to oversee preservation and
production of the Montgomery materials, which he
did not do. (Order at 6-7.) Chief Deputy Sheridan
also did not produce the 50 Montgomery hard drives.
(Order at 15.) The Monitor discovered the hard
drives in July 2015. (Order at 16.) Chief Deputy
Sheridan also concealed 1,459 IDs that were found
during the course of an internal affairs investigation
and ordered Captain Bailey to suspend the investiga-
tion. (Order at 10, 18.) Chief Deputy Sheridan con-
sulted Ms. Iafrate about whether they had to disclose
the IDs to the Monitor, and she told them not to
disclose the IDs. (Order at 19, 27.) Captain Bailey
told the Monitor that they had not found any new
15a
IDs. (Order at 20, 25.) The Monitor was informed

about the IDs on July 22, 2015. (Id.) Judge Snow
held a hearing on July 24, 2015, wherein each De-
fendant testified regarding their participation in the
concealment of the IDs and/or the Montgomery
materials.
Judge Snow issued his Order Re Contempt on
August 19, 2016 directing this Court to determine
whether Sheriff Arpaio, Chief Deputy Sheridan,
Captain Bailey, and Attorney Iafrate should be held
in criminal contempt. (Doc. 1, Order at 32.) Judge
Snows order set forth three categories of contuma-
cious conduct: Defendant Arpaios violation of the
courts preliminary injunction, Defendants Arpaio
and Sheridans participation in the non-disclosure of
the Montgomery hard drives, and Defendants Sheri-
dan, Bailey, and Iafrates concealment of the IDs.
(See Order at 1-2.) The Court held a status confer-
ence on October 11, 2016. (Doc. 24, Minute Entry.)
At the status conference, the Government as-
serted that there were two statutes governing crimi-
nal contempt, 18 U.S.C. 401 and 18 U.S.C. 402.
(Doc. 27, Rep.s Tr. of Status Conference at 5.) Sec-
tion 401 addresses disobedience of court orders. (Id.)
Section 402 addresses a subset of that conduct,
conduct that also constitutes a criminal offense. (Id.)
The Government argued that Sheriff Arapios con-
tumacious conduct of violating Judge Snows prelim-
inary injunction order is punishable under Section
401, but because non-disclosure of the Montgomery
hard drives and concealment of the IDS also consti-
tute obstruction of justice, a separate crime, this
contumacious conduct is punishable under Section
402. (Id. at 6.) Contumacious conduct subject to
Section 401 does not have a statute of limitations;
16a
however conduct subject to Section 402 has a one-

year statute of limitations, which the Government
claimed had run. 18 U.S.C. 3285; (Rep.s Tr. of
Status Conference at 7-8.) The Court directed coun-
sel to file briefs regarding the statute of limitations
and possible tolling of the statute as relevant to the
Governments position on the charges arising from
the Montgomery hard drives and the IDs. (Doc. 24,
Minute Entry.) The parties entered into an agree-
ment tolling the statute of limitations that day
awaiting a determination of the issue by the Court.
(Id.) The Court now considers whether the statute of
limitations applicable to contumacious conduct under
18 U.S.C. 402 has run.
II. LEGAL STANDARD AND ANALYSIS
Defendants argue that a criminal contempt
prosecution related to the nondisclosure of Mont-
gomery materials and the IDs cannot be brought
because 18 U.S.C. 3285 sets a one year statute of
limitations for contumacious conduct punishable
under Section 402, which expired prior to Judge
Snows order. (Doc. 34, Mem. Regarding Expiration
of Statute of Limitations under 18 U.S.C. 3285 at
2-3.) No proceeding for criminal contempt within
section 402 of this title shall be instituted against
any person, corporation or association unless begun
within one year from the date of the act complained
of. 18 U.S.C. 3285. Defendants Arpaio and Sheri-
dans contumacious conduct arose from their actions
regarding the Montgomery hard drives and Defend-
ants Sheridan, Bailey, and Iafrates contumacious
conduct arose from concealment of the IDs. At latest,
their conduct ceased on July 24, 2015 when they
were called to the hearing before Judge Snow be-
cause at that time the Monitor had possession of the
17a
undisclosed evidence. Judge Snows order was not

issued until August 19, 2016, more than three weeks
after the statute of limitations expired. Additionally,
there is no basis for tolling the statute of limitations
because any potentially excludable time periods
occurred prior to the July 24, 2015 hearing. There-
fore, the Court cannot proceed with criminal con-
tempt charges against Defendants Arpaio and Sheri-
dan for their conduct regarding the nondisclosure of
the Montgomery hard drives or against Defendants
Sheridan, Bailey, and Iafrate for their conduct
regarding concealment of the IDs.
III. CONCLUSION
Because 18 U.S.C. 3285 provides a one year
statute of limitations for criminal contempt that is
also a crime and the contumacious conduct at issue
ended more than one year ago, the Court dismisses
Defendants Sheridan, Bailey, and Iafrate from the
criminal contempt proceedings and will proceed
against Defendant Arpaio only for those allegations
of criminal contempt in the Order to Show Cause
(Doc. 36).
IT IS ORDERED dismissing Defendants
Sheridan, Bailey, and Iafrate.
Dated this 13th day of December, 2016.
