| 02/27/2003 | Order/Counsel | Filed Order/Sanctions. Order Directing Attorney Alan R. Harter to Pay Sanctions or Appear and Show Cause Why He Should Not Be Held in Contempt of Court. In each of these three appeals, this court sanctioned attorney Alan R. Harter for failure to comply with this court's orders and rules of appellate procedure.

In sum, Harter's conduct in these matters has been entirely unacceptable. Harter shall have 30 days from the date of this order within which to provide the clerk of this court with proof of payment of the overdue sanctions to the Supreme Court Law Library, in the total amount of $750.00, plus an additional sanction to the Supreme Court Law Library of $1,000.00, or personally appear before this court and show cause why he should not be held in contempt of this court, and subjected to an appropriate punishment including, but not limited to, the possibility of confinement, immediate suspension from the practice of law, or an order of this court prohibiting Harter from accepting any clients involved in criminal proceedings or the appointment by the court as counsel for any indigent for criminal defendants and also prohibiting him from appearing as counsel of record in this court.
