State of Tennessee v. Bradley Keith Cathey

The defendant, Bradley Keith Cathey, appeals the Dickson County Circuit Court’s finding of criminal contempt for failing to appear at a scheduled attorney setting.  The trial court found the defendant in direct contempt of court and summarily sentenced him to ten days incarceration.  On appeal, the defendant contends that the trial court erred in finding him in summary contempt.  Following our review, the judgment of the trial court is reversed and vacated. The cause is remanded for a hearing in accordance with Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 42(b).
