Calif. Federal Judge Orders Defendant in Odyssey Re Case to Appear in Court

SAN DIEGO — In a case in which Odyssey Reinsurance Co. seeks payment of a $3.2 million judgment, a California federal judge has ordered defendant Diane Nagby to explain why she should not be held in contempt of court for failing to deposit $184,001 into the court registry.
