This 7th day of September 2017, after careful consideration of the parties’
briefs and the record below, we find it evident that the judgment of the Family Court

well-reasoned order,2 dated November 7, 2016, affirming the Commissioner's denial
of the appellant’s motion for contempt of a protection from abuse order.

The Court assigned pseudonyms to the parties under Supreme Court Rule 7(d).

We note that although the order refers to the daycare incident as occurring on October 9, 2015
and October 9, 2016, it is undisputed that the event occurred on October 9, 2015.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Family
Court is AFFIRMED.
