United States Ninth Circuit
US v. GLASS, 03-50609
FRCP rule 42(b) summary criminal contempt proceedings were inappropriate; contempt conviction is reversed and remanded. Defendant's false pre-trial statements regarding her eligibility for indigent legal services posed no immediate threat to the court, and the contempt finding violated due process by relying on out-of-court observations.
