PartiesDoyle C. BROWN v. Luther C. HAMES, Jr
CourtGeorgia Court of Appeals

Doyle C. Brown, Marietta, for appellant.

George W. Darden, Dist. Atty., Ralph W. Kearns, Thomas J. Browning, Marietta, for appellee.

Syllabus Opinion by the Court

HALL, Presiding Judge.

Attorney Brown appeals from an order of the trial court holding him is contempt and sentencing him to five days in jail, for allegedly having made false representations to another judge of the same court to secure his client's release from jail.

Since the order 'does not specially find the facts and conclusions of law upon which the order was rendered,' we must reverse under the holdings in Carter v. State, 129 Ga.App. 536, 537, 199 S.E.2d 925 and Garland v. State, 99 Ga.App. 826, 110 S.E.2d 143. See Code Ann. § 81A-152.

Judgment reversed.

DEEN and STOLZ, JJ., concur.
