J. Fred Jones, Justice.

The regularly elected judge of the Pulaski County Circuit Court, Fourth Division, ordered Jack L. Lessenberry, a practicing attorney in Little Rock, to represent Bonnie Jo Tenpenny at her jury trial on a charge of delivering a controlled substance consisting of heroin in violation of the state law. Lessen-berry failed and refused to represent Mrs. Tenpenny at the trial presided over by a special judge. He was held in contempt by the special judge and a-fine of $1,000 was assessed against him. The matter is now before us on cer-tiorari.
