How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • recognizing that notwithstanding the finality of such orders for appeal purposes, the underlying investigative proceeding persists
  • holding that motion filed under Md. Rule 2-535 within 10 days of judgment is treated as a motion to alter or amend under Md. Rule 2-534, thereby staying the appeal period
  • “We have rejected the argument that, in this situation, one must be adjudged in contempt of the court order in order to obtain appellate review”
  • “[W]hen a motion to alter or amend an otherwise final judgment is filed within ten days after the judgment’s entry, the judgment loses its finality for purposes of appeal.”
  • “A contempt proceeding, even though it may grow out of or be associated with another proceeding, is ordinarily regarded as a collateral or separate action from the underlying case and as separately appealable, with appellate review normally limited to the contempt order itself.”
