The San Bernardino County grand jury on Tuesday served Rancho Cucamonga Councilman Rex Gutierrez with a contempt-of-court order for disclosing information to a reporter about its inquiry into a potential land deal. In April, Gutierrez said he met with members of the grand jury, who asked about the potential sale of a 1,200-acre parcel of land north of the 210 Freeway. Specifically, the grand jury wanted to know whether Rancho Cucamonga developer Jeff Burum and his company, Diversified Pacific, were getting preferential treatment.

Motion for Contempt - Necessity of Valid Court Order

In Cohen v. Cowks Media Co., a 1991 case in which a newspaper was sued for breach of contract after breaking a confidentiality agreement, the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment does not protect journalists from laws of "general applicability" that don't specifically target the press. [...] the principle has been carried over to trespass cases, such as Food Lion v. ABC, a 1999 case from the federal court of appeals in Richmond, Va. Because Caskey went back on mining company property, she picked up additional citations and a contempt of court order for violating the injunction.

David Cooper, the appellant appeals his conviction for criminal contempt. He was convicted of the charge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York based on an alleged violation of the court's instruction to produce a doctor's affidavit to support his client's claim of illness.

An order holding a lawyer in criminal contempt for speaking out of turn and walking out of the courtroom is invalid, the Court of Appeals has held. The contempt order against Norman C. Usiak was too vague when issued and did not become valid when the judge issued a corrected order almost three months later, the 4-3 decision said.

Trial court did not err in granting motion to strike appellant's "Application to Show Cause for Civil Contempt of Court Order" without a hearing. Appellant sought a contempt order as a separate civil action, independent of the underlying criminal prosecution. The contempt statute did not create a private right of action for an independent contempt claim based on the type of misconduct appellant alleged.
