OPINION

ZAPPALA, Justice.

This is an appeal from an Order of the Commonwealth Court adjudicating the petitioner, William D'Elia, in civil contempt of court for violation of a prior order of the Commonwealth Court. The prior order enforced a subpoena of the Pennsylvania Crime Commission (Commission), which had granted the petitioner use-immunity and had required him to testify before the Commission. We have jurisdiction under 42 Pa.C.S. § 723(a).
