Supreme Court of Kentucky.

April 16, 1998.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Daniel T. Goyette, Frank W. Heft, Jr., J. David Niehaus, Office of the Jefferson District Public Defender, Louisville, for Appellant.

A.B. Chandler, III, Attorney General, John R. Cox, Assistant Attorney General, Frankfort, for Appellee.

STEPHENS, Chief Justice.

There are two issues presented in this case. The first is whether a district judge (who is not a successor judge) may employ contempt power, to punish violation of another judge's order entered in a different division of the court and in a different case. The second issue is whether a district judge is bound to obey an administrative order of the Chief District Judge which requires a grant of continuances in "instant appointment cases."
