Opinion

WOODS (Fred), J .

In these consolidated original proceedings petitioners James Currie (Currie) and Eugene Finley (Finley) seek a writ mandating respondent superior court to dismiss the informations pending against them. The sought for relief is based upon the prosecutor’s failure to inform petitioners until after their preliminary hearings that the victim of all the charges alleged against them was himself currently charged with filing a false report, a misdemeanor (Pen. Code, 1 § 148.5). We deny the writs.
