Johnson v. Superior Court

Summary

The court dismissed the writ of error challenging three summary criminal contempt findings arising from repeated interruptions, racial slurs, and profanity directed at the trial court during a virtual habeas proceeding. It held that the contempt proceeding substantially complied with due process requirements, that deferral and recusal were not required, and that the trial court did not err in rejecting the plaintiff's competency-related claim. There were no separate opinions.
