UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFF, v. ANTHONY FREDERICK VANO ET AL., DEFENDANT. IN RE HERBERT SHAFER, ATTORNEY AT LAW, APPELLANT.

PER CURIAM:

Affirmed. See Local Rule 21. The certificate required by Rule 42(a), F.R. Crim.P., has now been filed. See prior order of this court appended hereto. The underlying evidentiary basis for the contempt adjudication in question is adequate and the record does not support the claim that the contempt process was used "to shackle cross-examination."

See NLRB v. Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, 5 Cir. 1970, 430 F.2d 966.

APPENDIX ORDER April 22, 1974. BY THE COURT: Appellant, an attorney, was adjudged in contempt on the basis of conduct occurring in the examination of a witness. The record is entirely adequate to support the contempt adjudication. However, the district judge failed to execute the certificate required by Rule 42(a), F.R.Crim.Procedure, relying instead on his statements in open court. The order adjudging appellant in contempt is vacated and the cause is remanded to the district court for the limited purpose of affording the district judge the opportunity to issue the necessary certificate. Jurisdiction is otherwise retained in this court pending either receipt of the certificate or advice from the district judge, within thirty days from the date hereof, that the certificate will not be forthcoming.
