Description
BURKE, Justice. OPINION. These three cases, consolidated for appeal, raise issues concerning the imposition of sanctions for indirect contempts. Assistant District Attorneys David J. Walsh and Eugene Williams were each fined $25.00 by Judge Ralph E. Moody of the superior court for their failure to furnish discovery materials in connection with two criminal prosecutions. 1 Ronald West, a private attorney, was assessed $50.00 by Judge Vochoska of the district court on the ground that West's client, James Harne, did not appear for his trial. All three appellants claim that they were not given adequate notice and the right to a hearing on the contempt sanctions, so as to deny their rights to due process. In the case prosecuted by appellant Walsh two defendants charged with theft-related offenses filed motions for continuance of an omnibus hearing based on Walsh's failure to provide requested discovery materials.
