Collier & Son Corp. v.

C., for appellees.

Before COLEMAN, GOLDBERG, and MORGAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

[*~261]1

The petitioners seek review of a decision of the Judicial Officer of the Department of Agriculture, acting for the Secretary of Agriculture, issued under the Packers and Stockyards Act, 7 U.S. C.A. § 181 et seq. The controlling issue is whether the Department of Agriculture is authorized by § 203 of the Act, 7 U.S.C.A. § 193, to hold a hearing and issue a cease and desist order with respect to a live poultry dealer or handler who violates § 202 of the Act, 7 U.S.C.A. § 192.

[*~269]2

In Arkansas Valley Industries, Inc. v. Freeman, 415 F.2d 713 (1969) the Eighth Circuit recently considered and decided this question. It answered in the negative. We agree.

[*~274]3

The decision and order of the Secretary of Agriculture in the case now under review will therefore be set aside.

[*~275]4

So ordered.
