UNIVERSAL CITY STUDIOS, INC., et al., Plaintiffs-Appellees, v. N.Y. BROADWAY INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, et al., Defendants, Chong In Lee and Bendar Wu, Contemnors-Appellants.

United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.

Decided April 20, 1983.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Alan Jay Harris, New York City, for contemnors-appellants.

Peter Sudler, New York City (Sudler & Barth, New York City, on brief), for contemnor-appellant Wu.

Evan L. Gordon, New York City (Wofsey, Certilman, Haft, Lebow & Balin, New York City, on brief), for plaintiffs-appellees.

Before MANSFIELD, MESKILL and NEWMAN, Circuit Judges.

NEWMAN, Circuit Judge:

This is an appeal from an October 28, 1982, judgment of the District Court for the Southern District of New York (John E. Sprizzo, Judge) holding appellants Chong In Lee and Bendar Wu in criminal contempt and sentencing them to unconditional terms of thirty days' imprisonment. Because the proceedings were initiated and conducted as civil contempt proceedings, the criminal contempt punishments were improperly imposed and must be set aside.
