        "text": "Per Curiam.\nBy per curiam opinion delivered May 20, 2004, R.S. McCullough, counsel for appellant, Calvin Lamont Walker, was ordered to appear before this court on June 3, 2004, to show cause why he should not be held in contempt for his failure to perfect this appeal. Walker v. State, No. CR 04-456 (May 20, 2004). Although Mr. McCullough filed a timely notice of appeal from Walker\u2019s conviction judgment, he failed to file the record with this court in order to perfect Walker\u2019s appeal. Id.\nMr. McCullough appeared before this court on June 3, 2004, and entered a plea of not guilty to the contempt citation. We appointed a master, Hon. John E. Jennings, to determine the facts in this case. Walker v. State, No. CR 04-456 (June 10, 2004). On November 30, 2004, Judge Jennings issued his Report of Special Master in which he found \u201cno good reason for Mr. McCullough\u2019s failure to obtain a certified partial record nor his failure to pursue the application to have Mr. Walker declared indigent.\u201d He further found \u201cno reason at all for Mr. McCullough\u2019s failure to respond to the efforts by the clerk to try to resolve the problem.\u201d In sum, Judge Jennings concluded that no reasonable cause had been shown for Mr. McCullough\u2019s failure to perfect Walker\u2019s appeal.\nBased on the foregoing, we hold that Mr. McCullough is in contempt of court for failing to perfect this appeal on behalf of Calvin Lamont Walker. We assess a fine of $250.00 plus the court reporter expenses incurred by this court as a result of the hearing before the Special Master. The total amount assessed shall be paid within thirty days from the date of this per curiam. A copy of this order will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.",
