Heard: March 2, 2020

On appeal
    from the orders of Justice Carole J. Brown of the Superior Court of Justice, dated

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1]

The history of this case is accurately outlined
    in the judgment of Brown J. dated January 24, 2018.

[2]

Notwithstanding the very able argument of
    counsel, Mr. Slansky, we do not give effect to any of his arguments raised on
    this appeal, as we see no error in the decision of the motion judge.

[3]

Mr. Nowack was clearly in contempt of various
    court orders. He was given numerous opportunities to purge his contempt, and he
    failed to do so. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.

[4]

The sentence imposed on the contempt finding
    will be served concurrently to any related criminal sentence that Mr. Nowack is
    now serving. No order as to costs.
