The judge failed to comply with the Code of Criminal Procedure when handling an attorney's timely written requests to appeal his clients' traffic cases. Instead, the judge had the clients served with capias pro fine warrants without notice to their attorney and without permitting the defendants the requisite period of time in which to pay their fines or file an appeal bond.
