Supreme Court of Nebraska
Mar 23, 1984
216 Neb. 828 (Neb. 1984)

Opinion

No. 83-376.

Filed March 23, 1984.

Appeal from the District Court for Hall County: JOSEPH D. MARTIN, Judge. Appeal dismissed.

Earl D. Ahlschwede of Ahlschwede Truell, for appellant.

Cunningham, Blackburn, VonSeggern, Livingston, Francis Riley, for appellee.

KRIVOSHA, C.J., WHITE, HASTINGS, CAPORALE, SHANAHAN, and GRANT, JJ.


Frank Charles Frandsen appeals an order entered March 23, 1983, in the Hall County District Court, whereby Frandsen was found guilty of contempt of court for willful failure to comply with the provisions of a decree of dissolution, that is, to hold harmless Ann Marie Frandsen regarding marital debts.

After finding Frandsen guilty of contempt the court ordered Frandsen committed to the Hall County jail for 6 months or "until purged of contempt."

We are asked to review the trial court's coercive order, that is, a contempt citation to compel compliance with a previous order of the trial court. Such order is not a final order subject to review in this court. See In re Contempt of Liles, 216 Neb. 531, 344 N.W.2d 626 (1984). Therefore, Frandsen's appeal is dismissed.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
