DISPOSITION : On 10-16-61 and 10-19-61, .respectively, after the articles seized 
at Forest Park, Ga., and Columbus, Ohio, had been claimed by General 
Juices Corp., both the case in the Northern District of Georgia and the case 
in the Southern District of Ohio were removed to the Eastern District of 
Virginia. On 4-2-62, after the article seized at Norfolk, Va., had also been 
claimed by General Juice Corp., a consent decree of condemnation was entered 
in that case which permitted the segregation of that article and the bringing 
of that article into compliance with law. On 7-31-62, similar consent decrees 
of condemnation were filed as to the articles seized at Forest Park, Ga., and 
Columbus, Ohio, to which decrees the claimant consented without admitting 
that the articles were either adulterated or misbranded. Thereafter, the ar- 
ticles from three actions were segregated and 13,419 cases which were found 
to be violative were returned under bond to the dealer's plant in Florida, where 
14 cases were destroyed and 13,405 cases were relabeled as a drink for export.
