Rule 64.1. Civil Arrest Warrant
(a) Nonsubstantive Nature of Rule; Illustrative Uses. This rule does not create a substantive basis for the power of arrest. Rather, it sets forth the procedure for a court to exercise its inherent power to command the attendance in court of persons who disobey a prior order to appear in a civil action. The procedure described in this rule can be used, for example, if a witness ignores a subpoena, a juror disobeys an order to report for jury duty, a judgment debtor fails to appear for supplemental proceedings, a person disobeys an order to appear for a deposition, or a person is in contempt of an order to report to jail as directed.
