Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in New York

Please, need help with Contempt Of Court issue
If in any New York State District Court proceeding a defendent is charged and
found guilty of 'contemt of court', for any actions OUTSIDE of the
courtroom itself, and an actual fine imposed on that defendent is more
than $1 or jail time is administered, is the defendent entitled to
an appeal of the entire case by a higher court?

Yes, as long as the defendant didn't give up that right to appeal as part of the plea and sentence bargain he received.

Your Zip code is in my neighborhood. Give me a call if you would like to discuss this further.

Good Luck.
