This Sunday is SuperBowl XLVI, marking the end of another exciting football season. If you're a football fan, or a fan of other sports, you may want to be aware of the Federal Communication Commission's Request for Public Comments on the Sports Blackout Rule, found at 47 CFR Part 76, Subpart F. According to the request for comments, several organizations are petitioning the FCC to eliminate the blackout rule.

Comments are due by February 13, 2012. You can file your comments electronically or by mail.

Order to Show Cause forms are now available online on the Utah State Courts' website.

An order to show cause is filed when a party seeks to enforce a previously established court order or decree. The main objective of the show cause hearing is to get the party who is not following the court’s order to do so. If a party is able to do what the court has ordered and does not, the court can also impose penalties, including, in extreme circumstances, a fine and time in jail.

Procedures for filing an order to show cause are similar around the state, but there are some differences. Motions for orders to show cause in Districts 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be determined initially by a court commissioner and parties should follow Rule of Civil Procedure 101. Motions for orders to show cause in Districts 5, 6, 7 and 8 will be determined by a judge. Parties in the Fifth District should follow Code of Judicial Administration Rule 10-1-50-1. Orders to show cause are filed in the same district where the original order or decree was entered.

For more information, and to access the forms, visit the Motion to Enforce Domestic Orders page.
