George W. Crawford v. First Washington Insurance Company
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the Court
NEBEKER, Senior Judge:
On April 15, 2013, the Honorable Gregory E. Jackson ordered that appellant George W. Crawford be conditionally incarcerated after being found to be in contempt for his failure to make a “good faith effort” to pay $123,257.50 in imposed sanctions.

We conclude that the appeal is moot, and dismiss it.
