<bold>1. Contempt — civil contempt — no underlying order or judgment — failure</bold> <bold>to give adequate notice — failure to make appropriate findings of</bold> <bold>fact</bold> <block_quote> The trial court erred by holding defendants in civil contempt for failure to pay $2,480 in a summary ejectment case, because: (1) the contempt order was not based on any underlying order or judgment since no judgment was reduced to writing as required by N.C.G.S. § <cross_reference>1A-1</cross_reference>, Rule 58; (2) even if the trial court's underlying judgment had been properly entered, defendants had not been given adequate notice of the contempt proceeding when defendants were notified at the end of trial that they would be held in contempt until the debt was paid and they were taken immediately to jail with no good cause shown in violation of N.C.G.S. § <cross_reference>5A-23</cross_reference>(a); and (3) the trial court failed to make the appropriate findings of fact including willfulness and the ability to comply, and to the contrary the court found defendants were not able to pay the court ordered amount.</block_quote> <bold>2. Appeal and Error — appealability — outside scope of order</bold> <block_quote> Although defendant's remaining arguments concern errors that allegedly occurred during trial relating to the admission of evidence and rulings on defendants' defenses and counterclaims, these assignments of error are dismissed because: (1) they are not properly before the Court of Appeals since they are outside the scope of the order being appealed; and (2) the notice of appeal references the order entered on 6 September 2006 which found defendant in civil contempt, and thus defendants have properly appealed only from the court's determination of civil contempt.</block_quote>
