Automorphisms of quasi-projective surfaces over fields of finite characteristic

We prove that the group of automorphisms of any quasi-projective surface S in finite characteristic has the p-Jordan property. Also we give a list of examples which can possibly lead to a construction of a quasi-projective threefold which group of automorphisms can be non-p-Jordan; however, the question whether they actually give such a construction remains undecided.
