ORDER FINDING DEFENDANT DONN IN CONTEMPT OF COURT AND COMMITMENT ORDER

On the 25th day of January, 1982, the Court finds and holds Aron Edward Donn in contempt of Court; the defendant was present with appointed counsel, Michael S. Mink; the United States of America was represented by John D. Robertson, Assistant United States Attorney.

Despite warnings and admonitions of the Court, defendant Donn engaged in at least four loud and boisterous vocal outbursts defying the Court and interrupting the Court in rendering its Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order in the Evidentiary Hearing conducted pursuant to the Decision and Mandate of the Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, Case No. 80-5616, dated November 19, 1981, 661 F.2d 820 (9th Cir.1981). Since defendant Donn persisted in his contemptible conduct despite the warnings of the Court, and so misbehaved that in the presence of the Court he, Donn, outrageously obstructed the administration of justice, the Court finds said Donn in contempt of Court and he is ordered to be sentenced to a term of six months, all as appears conclusively in the transcript of Evidentiary Hearing, et al., January 25, 1982, which is hereby incorporated herein and made part hereof.

COURT JUDGMENT HEREIN OF JANUARY 15, 1979, VACATED BY SAID DECISION AND MANDATE OF COURT OF APPEALS, NINTH CIRCUIT, IS HEREBY REINSTATED IN TOTO BY REASON OF AFORESAID EVIDENTIARY HEARING, FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
