Contempt. DeKalb Superior Court. Before Judge Henley.

William V. Hall, Jr., for appellant.

Robert P. Mallis, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

This is the fourth citation for contempt by the wife against the husband since their temporary alimony order was entered in July, 1978. The trial court held him in criminal contempt and sentenced him to two weeks in jail with a $200 fine. Code Ann. § 24-2615. The evidence supports the trial court's order. Ensley v. Ensley, 239 Ga. 860 ( 238 S.E.2d 920) (1977). The other enumerations of error are controlled by Hopkins v. Hopkins, 244 Ga. 67 (1979), where this same husband was held in criminal contempt for failing to make his payments, and sentenced to two weekends in jail.

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur, except Jordan, J., who dissents.
