Randy Dimmitt v. City Court Salt Lake City

CROCKETT, Chief Justice: On May 2, 1967, Randy Dimmitt, age 17, was issued a traffic citation by Salt Lake City police charging him with operating
a motor vehicle without a valid operator's license, without a valid registration certificate, with an inoperative muffler
and a defective tail light. After entering a plea of not guilty in the city court, he filed this action in the district court
to restrain the city court from proceeding on the ground that it had no jurisdiction, urging that the juvenile court has exclusive
jurisdiction over him and such offenses because he is a minor. 1 From a rejection of his petition, plaintiff appeals.
