The appellant represented a criminal defendant as privately retained counsel through the imposition of sentence, and thereafter withdrew. Substitute counsel requested a copy of the transcript, which was denied, and thereafter filed a motion for new trial and a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. The trial court granted the latter motion, and at the same time directed the appellant to pay a substantial sum to the court reporter for the cost of preparing the transcript. Appellant filed a motion for reconsideration, which was denied, and appealed. Although a court has power "[t]o control, in the furtherance of justice, the conduct of its officers and all other persons connected with a judicial proceeding before it, . . ." Code Ann. 24-104, it has no authority, by in personam order, to compel the payment of private contractual obligations incurred by an attorney for court reporting services. 1 See Brown & Huseby, Inc. v. Chrietzberg, 242 Ga. 232, 234 ( 248 SE2d 631) (1978). The order is therefore beyond the power of the trial court. Joseph H. Briley, District Attorney, for appellee. |
