Bald, Fat & Ugly, LLC v. Keane

EISMANN, Justice.

This is an appeal from a judgment holding the appellants in contempt for their failure to comply with an order confirming an arbitration award and for an order awarding attorney fees against them in the contempt proceeding. Because the order confirming the arbitration award did not require the appellants to do anything and because contempt cannot be used to enforce payment of the debt in this ease, we reverse the judgment of the district court finding them in contempt and the order later entered awarding the respondent attorney fees and court costs.
