Ray SANDSTROM, Appellant,
v.
STATE of Florida, Appellee.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Ray Sandstrom, of Sandstrom & Haddad, Fort Lauderdale, in pro. per.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Paul H. Zacks, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from an order holding appellant in direct criminal contempt. First, appellant attacks the validity of the underlying order. Since the trial court had jurisdiction to render the underlying order and the order was not transparently invalid or a mere frivolous pretense to validity, the propriety of said order became insulated from attack upon the contemptuous violation thereof. Sandstrom v. State,
Appellant's next assertion that his failure to appear in court on the day and time ordered could not be the basis for a direct contempt, but only an indirect contempt, is erroneous. Aron v. Huttoe,
Finally, in open court the trial court orally sentenced appellant to twenty-four hours in jail in addition to a fine of $2,000. When reduced to a writing the order recited jail time of forty-eight hours as well as the $2,000 fine. The written order must be corrected to conform to the oral pronouncement. Byrd v. State,
REMANDED for correction of the sentence; otherwise AFFIRMED.
DOWNEY, HERSEY and GLICKSTEIN, JJ., concur.
