United States Second Circuit

In a corporation's appeal from the district court's order holding it in contempt for failing to comply with a subpoena for corporate records, the order is affirmed where a corporation with a sole shareholder, officer, and employee may not refuse to comply with a subpoena demanding production of corporate records under the Fifth Amendment's "act of production" privilege.
