How have the courts dealt with the issue of whether all defendants were "handheld" or "officers, agents, or employees"?

Although the government presented admissible evidence that all defendants were handlers, the only question before the court was whether there was a basis for the administrative committees' determination that defendants were handlers. Since there was a basis for the determination, further challenges must be raised in the section 608c(15) administrative proceeding. United States v. Lamars Dairy, 500 F.2d 84, 85 (7th Cir.1974). Furthermore, even if the individual defendants were not handlers, they would still properly be within the scope of the injunction as officers, agents, or employees of the handlers. None of their arguments that the injunction is improper as to them withstands scrutiny.

The district court judgments are affirmed, and the cases are remanded for any further proceedings.
