The man who made headlines this week for refusing to come down from a tree for more than 24 hours is scheduled to appear in court Friday for his bond hearing. There's just one catch: Cody Lee Miller, 28, may keep up the civil disobedience act and refuse to show up. He's already forced the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>judge to postpone her decision on bail and reschedule the hearing once after<span style="color: Red;">*</span>refusing<span style="color: Red;">*</span>to leave the jail where he is<span style="color: Red;">*</span>being held. He is being held for malicious mischief and a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>forester with the city's<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Transportation Department<span style="color: Red;">*</span>says he did<span style="color: Red;">*</span>$7,800 in damages to the tree.
