COMPTON v. BERTAUT
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
Jul 11, 1977
ORDER
This case is transferred to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal for appropriate action. Article 5, ยง 5(D) of the 1974 Constitution giving the defendant a right of direct appeal to the Supreme Court when imprisonment exceeding six months has been imposed refers only to criminal cases, that is, misdemeanor convictions. The present matter is a contempt adjudication in a civil matrimonial action. Hence, the Court of Appeal has supervisory jurisdiction.
