or civil contempt if Ghooliani fails to comply. People might think it's odd that contempt could be criminal in a civil case as opposed to civil contempt but it has to do with the severity and circumstances of the contempt. The nice thing about the criminal contempt is that it is part of a permanent criminal record. Civil contempt is more like getting a reluctant party to file a required form etc. But if someone has been openly disrespecting a court the judge can go criminal contempt. It's very much up to the judge and how serious he views the conduct and pattern if any.
