Abstract: We consider any transcendental meromorphic function $ f$ of Class $ \mathcal{S}$ whose Julia set is a Jordan curve. We show that the Julia set of $ f$ either is an extended straight line or has Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than $ 1$. The proof uses conformal iterated function systems and extends many earlier results of this type.
