Opinion
FRANSON, Acting P. J.
Statement of the Case
These 17 consolidated cases, involving 16 individual defendants, arise from alleged violations of Food and Agricultural Code section 5784 1 and title 3, California Administrative Code, section 3595 2 setting forth mandatory dates for cotton farmers to shred and plow under their cotton stalks. This “plowdown” is deemed necessary to control the pink bollworm. All 17 cases were dismissed by Kern County justice court judges because of what the judges perceived to be an unconstitutional statutory denial of the defendants’ right to jury trials.
