Opinion
Writ granted. Failure of an attorney to appear for trial is constructive contempt of court. Kidd v. Caldwell, 371 So.2d 247 (La.1979). Trial and punishment of constructive contempt requires the statutory procedure that was not observed in this case. Accordingly, the contempt conviction and sentence are set aside, and the case is remanded to the district court for further proceedings.
