UNITED STATES v. FLYNT

No. 84-5041.

756 F.2d 1352 (1985)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Larry FLYNT, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted September 17, 1984.

Decided March 28, 1985.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William L. Webber, Asst. U.S. Atty., Los Angeles, Cal., for plaintiff-appellee.

Alan L. Isaacman, Cooper, Epstein & Hurewitz, Beverly Hills, Cal., for defendant-appellant.

Before ELY, FLETCHER and REINHARDT, Circuit Judges.

REINHARDT, Circuit Judge.

Appellant Larry Flynt appeals from five judgments of criminal contempt entered by United States District Judge Manuel Real. Because we conclude that the denial of appellant's motion for a continuance and the resort to summary contempt proceedings constituted abuses of the trial court's discretion, we reverse appellant's convictions and vacate his sentences.
