Before JORGENSON, GREEN, and SHEVIN, JJ.
739 So. 2d 166 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1999) Positive Treatment
Cited by 10 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The trial court held the appellant in direct criminal contempt and imposed a six month jail sentence against her for failure to testify for the state pursuant to a trial subpoena. We find no error in this regard and affirm the same. We do, however, remand this cause for the correction of an apparent scrivener’s error in the written order which adjudicates the appellant in contempt for “jailing polygraph exam.”

Affirmed in part and remanded in part with instructions.
