Patrick Alan Ney v. John Glenn Ney

HECHT, Justice.

Two brothers stipulated to the entry of an order enjoining them from having con tact with each other. When one of them subsequently sought a contempt order against the other for violation of the injunction, the district court dismissed the action on the ground it lacked subject matter jurisdiction to enter or enforce a consent order barring contact between parties.
