THIS MATTER is before the Court on Rodney E. Miller, Sr.'s(hereafter "Petitioner") Petition for Appellate Stay and For Writ of Mandamus filed with this Court on September 18, 2008. In an Order entered on September 24, 2008, we denied Petitioner's request for an appellate stay on the dual grounds that Petitioner failed to comply with Supreme Court Rule 8(b) and that the trial judge had granted Petitioner a continuance of the contempt proceedings.
