Decided June 30, 1981

Supreme Court of Georgia · decided 1981-06-30

Relies on 157 Ga. App. 466 - Jacobs v. State

Decided 1981-06-30

Per curiam.

¶1We granted certiorari in this case, Jacobs v. State of Ga., 157 Ga. App. 466 (278 SE2d 21) (1981), to consider two questions: (1) Whether contemnor acted within his constitutional rights in asserting the privilege against self-incrimination, and (2) whether under the facts of this case the holding of contemnor in contempt of court was authorized.

¶2There is in the record an uncertified and unofficial “transcript” of proceedings of the February 14,1980, investigative hearing which “transcript” was filed in the superior court on April 22,1980, after the contemnor was adjudicated in contempt on March 7, 1980. The transcript of the March 7 contempt hearing, prepared from recollection, does not show that the “transcript” of the February 14 investigative hearing was introduced as evidence before the superior court at the contempt hearing.

¶3Upon further consideration of this matter we conclude that certiorari was improvidently granted.

¶4Writ dismissed.

All the Justices concur.
