1Opinion of the Court

FARRIS, Circuit Judge:

Robert T. Gustafson appeals a summary contempt order entered against him by the district court. A divided panel of this court reversed. See 619 F.2d 1354 (9th Cir. 1980). Because proper resolution of the principal issue presented — the conditions under which a federal court may summarily impose criminal contempt — is important to just and orderly administration of the courts in the fifteen districts embraced by this circuit, we granted rehearing by this limited en banc panel, see 9th Cir.R. 25.
