Opinion
In this mandate proceeding it appears that respondent Nevada County Superior Court refused to exercise its jurisdiction in the case of County of Nevada et al. v. MacMillen, No. 18893, challenging the validity of the Governmental Conflict of Interest Act (Stats. 1973, ch. 1166; Gov. Code, §§ 3600-3760) on the ground that “at least all nonretired Superior Court Judges are disqualified from hearing or proceeding in this cause.” We conclude that such judges are not so disqualified. (See Goodspeed v. Great Western P. Co. (1937) 19 Cal.App.2d 435, 444 [65 P.2d 1342]; 1 Witkin, Cal. Procedure (2d ed. 1970) Courts, § 65, p. 344.) It is therefore ordered that respondent court proceed to hear and determine case No. 18893 pending before it. In all other respects the petition is denied. The petition to intervene and answer is also denied.
This order is final forthwith.
