National Labor Relations Board v. Ambrose Distributing Company
Opinion
Opinion
On March 9, 1966, this court granted a petition of the National Labor Relations Board for the enforcement of an order issued by it against A. Neil Ambrose, an individual (see 358 F.2d 319 ). A decree was entered by this court on April 8, 1966. Rehearing was denied on April 26, 1966. Ambrose sought certiorari in the Supreme Court, which was denied on October 10, 1966 ( 385 U.S. 838 , 87 S.Ct. 86 , 17 L.Ed.2d 72 ). At that time, the decree of this court became final.
On May 11, 1967, the Board filed with this court a Petition for Adjudication in Civil Contempt and for Other Civil Relief. We issued an order directing Ambrose to answer the Board’s allegations and to appear before this court on June 23, 1967 to show cause why he should not be adjudged in civil contempt. Ambrose filed his answer on June 14, and appeared, in person and by counsel, on June 23, 1967.
The pertinent portions of our decree are the following:
On the record before us, we make the following
