City of Grand Forks v. Dohman

VANDE WALLE, Chief Justice.

Raymond Dohman appealed from a district court’s order assessing a punitive sanction in summary proceedings for contempt of court under chapter 27-10, NDCC, and fining him $300.00 as provided for by sections 27-10-01.3(2) and 27-10-01.4(2)(b) of the North Dakota Century Code.
