OPINION
CRONE, Judge.
Case Summary
The Bureau of Motor Vehicles and its commissioner, Andrew Miller ("the BMV"), appeal an indirect eivil contempt order. We reverse and remand.
Issues
Did the trial court err in issuing a second contempt order during a hearing on the BMV's motion to correct error where the first contempt order was vacated for lack of notice?
Is the BMV a "person" within the language of the Indiana civil contempt statute?
Was the unverified petition for rule to show cause deficient as a matter of law?
