EAGAN v. AYD

No. 176, September Term, 1987.

313 Md. 265 (1988)

545 A.2d 55

FREDERICK M. EAGAN v. CLARISSA AYD.

Court of Appeals of Maryland.

August 4, 1988.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charles E. Yankovich, Towson, for appellant.

Kenneth D. Man (Kroop, Kurland & Rosenberg, on brief), Baltimore, for appellee.

Argued before MURPHY, C.J., and ELDRIDGE, COLE, RODOWSKY, McAULIFFE, ADKINS and BLACKWELL, JJ.

ADKINS, Judge.

The defendant in a paternity action refused to submit to a blood test ordered by the Circuit Court for Harford County (Carr, J.) pursuant to Md.Code (1984) § 5-1029 of the Family Law Article. Judge Carr held that the refusal constituted contempt of court. The defendant now insists that the court lacked the power to hold him in contempt. We disagree and affirm the judgment of the circuit court.

There is no dispute about the factual framework...
