MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
I. BACKGROUND
At the November 20, 2014 hearing, this Court indicated its willingness to
pursue civil and/or criminal contempt against Sheriff Arpaio, the Maricopa County
Sheriffs Office, and/or the MCSOs members in connection with implementing the
Courts Orders. The Court further scheduled the December 4, 2014 hearing to
investigate the matter. (Docs. 795 and 797).
II. LAW AND ARGUMENT
A. Scope of Representation
As a basis for the December 4, 2014 evidentiary hearing, the Court mentioned
both civil and criminal contempt at the November 20, 2014 hearing. The Court
issued its Order regarding the hearing (Doc. 795) and then modified the Order,
specifically requesting that a representative of the United States Attorneys Office
attend. (Doc. 797).
Should the Court pursue criminal contempt or a criminal investigation, Sheriff
Arpaio, the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office, and the MCSO members are entitled
to criminal defense counsel. Undersigned counsel was retained through the
Maricopa County Attorney, William Montgomery for civil representation only.
Arizona Revised Statutes define Mr. Montgomerys powers and duties. A.R.S
11-532. Mr. Montgomerys powers and duties include, inter alia, being the public
prosecutor for criminal proceedings and providing civil legal services to county
employees and agencies. (See A.R.S. 11-532 attached as Exhibit 1). Mr.

Montgomery does not have the power to defend a criminal investigation or criminal
contempt. Because Mr. Montgomery does not have this authority, likewise
undersigned counsel does not have this power. Undersigned counsel was retained
as lead counsel in this matter on November 21, 2014. (See attached Exhibit 2).
The representation powers and duties are set forth in the agreement between
Maricopa County and Iafrate & Associates. (See attached Exhibit 3). These powers
and duties likewise do not include the ability to defend clients in criminal contempt
proceedings or criminal investigations.
If the Court intends to pursue criminal contempt proceedings or a criminal
investigation, the individuals should receive full constitutional protections. See Hicks
v. Feiock, 485 U.S. 624, 632 (1988). These protections include:
The right to be advised of the charges the right to a disinterestedprosecutor, the right to assistance of counsel, a presumption ofinnocence, proof beyond a reasonable doubt, the privilege against
self-incrimination, the right to cross-examine witnesses, theopportunity to present a defense and call witnesses, and the right toa jury trial if the fine or sentence imposed will be serious.
F.J. Hanshaw Enterprises, Inc. v. Emerald River Dev., Inc., 244 F.3d 1128, 1139 (9th
Cir. 2001)(emphasis added). Because undersigned counsel cannot assist Sheriff
Arpaio, the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office, and the MCSO members, the Court
should make a determination as to counsel prior to the December 4, 2014 hearing.
