Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
KAREN LeCRAFT HENDERSON, Circuit Judge.
The district court summarily convicted the appellant of criminal contempt and imposed punishment of twelve months’ imprisonment after the appellant uttered a vulgarity directed to the court in open court. The appellant appeals his conviction and sentence, arguing the evidence is insufficient to find him guilty of contempt, the sentence is unreasonable in relation to his actions and, because the sentence exceeds six months, he is entitled to a jury trial. We affirm the contempt conviction but reduce the appellant’s sentence to six months’ imprisonment.
