Order, ORDER. As stated in court on September 29, 2026, the City of Chicagos Motion For a Finding of Civil Contempt Against Douglas Belofsky and to Compel Production (Dkt. No. 845) is GRANTED.

To purge the contempt, Belofsky must furnish the City with all his recorded information that relat[es] to the [Debtors] property or [their] financial affairs. (Id.) This is so even if the recorded information also relates to an entity or individual other than Debtors. Belofsky must comply by no later than October 6, 2026, and he must file a Certificate of Compliance with the Court by that date. (Related Doc # [845]).
