Kern CountyKIMI PECK
With no new hearing • no court ruling • no fair and impartial due process • Kern County authorities based on their own non judicial "opinion" and their own non judicial "clarification of provisions of the code" may soon decide to round up some little puppies and Kimi Peck's healthy, happy, well cared for rescue dogs, take them away -- and kill them all.

The Constitution of The United States of America
establishes three (3) branches of government
1. Executive
2. Legislature
3. Judicial
Thus, if there is a dispute about the law,
the Judicial Branch / the Court settles the dispute.
Disputes of law are not settled by the Executive Branch.
Disputes of law are not settle by the Kern County
Board of Supervisors
Disputes of law are not settled by
TED JAMES
Director of Kern County Planning Director • 661 862-8600
• Executive Branch
or by Kern County officials CHUCK LACKEY or AL ROJAS
Disputes of the law are settled by due process in a Court.
The State of California Constitution provides for pretty
much the same thing.
TED JAMES • CHUCK LACKEY • AL ROJAS
Are attempting to pull off something that violates
due process of law.
The facts and the law (dogs barked) with respect to
the prior Water Canyon property
do not apply to the Bear Valley property
Bear Valley Property
After owning a flat agricultural property for 20 years
a neighbor has decided to install a mobile home right
next to Kimi Peck's property
-- thus, he will have standing to complain to Kern
County about dogs barking.
The neighbor may have been paid off to write up complaints - we'll see!
