ORDER ON PETITIONS FOR REHEARING
ELY, Circuit Judge.
Following the issuance of our foregoing opinion, the appellant filed a petition for rehearing. Attached to the latter was a transcript of certain state court proceedings which had not theretofore been a part of the record in our court and which were never presented to the District Court. The appellee contends that this transcript reveals that the Arizona trial court accorded to the appellant his right of allocution. The appellee has now moved this court to augment its record with the addition of the supplemental transcript. This we refuse to do, since, as heretofore stated, that transcript of proceedings was not before the District Court. Rule 10, Fed.R. App.P.
We do, however, modify our conclusion as to the first, second, and third contempt citations by ordering as follows:
As to citations one, two, and three, the cause is remanded to the District Court for its reconsideration in the light of a certain transcript of state trial court proceedings which was not presented to it, which did not constitute a portion of the record in this court, and which the appellee did not seek to include as a part of the record in this court until after the issuance of this court’s opinion.
With the court’s opinion modified as hereinabove stated, the appellant’s petition for rehearing and the appellee’s “Cross-Petition” for rehearing are both denied.
SPENCER WILLIAMS, District Judge, now concurs with the majority in its disposition of the fifth citation, but as to the other four, he adheres to his views as set forth in his dissenting opinion.
