Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Winneshiek County, Laura J. Parrish, Judge. WRIT SUSTAINED IN PART, WRIT ANNULLED IN PART, AND CASE REMANDED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Schumacher and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (9 pages)
Roger Lundtvedt contests the legality of the district court’s orders issued in a contempt action. OPINION HOLDS: Because the district court exceeded the law by requiring Lundtvedt to pay attorney fees to purge his contempt, we sustain the writ of certiorari as to that part of the contempt order but annul the writ in all other particulars. We remand to the district court for entry of an order consistent with this decision.
