State, Department of Corrections v. Berry

STONE, Judge,

concurring in part and dissenting in part.

I would reverse the entry of sanctions against Appellant’s attorney. Although counsel was alerted that the court was considering sanctions, the court did not comply with the procedural requirements of contempt, which, in my judgment, would be the only basis upon which to lawfully justify the sanctions imposed. As to the other issues raised, I concur in affirming.
