State v. Gardner

Defendant appeals a judgment of contempt that ordered him to pay delinquent child support and placed him on probation for a determinate period of one year. He argues that the trial court failed to follow the procedure required by ORS 33.055 (2015) to impose remedial sanctions for contempt, and that the court erred by imposing punitive contempt sanctions in a remedial contempt proceeding.

In relevant part, ORS 33.055 (2015) provides:

“(1) Except as otherwise provided in ORS 161.685,[1] proceedings to impose remedial sanctions for contempt shall be conducted as provided in this section.
