    At a civil contempt proceeding for failure to pay court-ordered fines and costs, indigent defendants have a right to appointed counsel upon a determination of a likelihood of imprisonment and, therefore, defendant was entitled to relief on appeal from his civil contempt conviction. The appellate court vacated and remanded for further proceedings.
