Before McKUSICK, C.J., and NICHOLS, VIOLETTE, WATHEN, GLASSMAN and SCOLNIK, JJ.


VIOLETTE, Justice.

The defendant appeals from a judgment of criminal contempt entered against him after a summary proceeding in the Superior Court, Knox County. He contends that his conduct did not justify the finding of contempt, that the summary proceeding before the trial judge was improper, and that the court imposed an excessive sentence for the contempt. We disagree with the defendant's contentions and deny the appeal.
