author: Mr. Justice Stevens, MR. Justice Brennan,

text:
    No. 75-983.
    Liles et al. v. Oregon.
   Ct. App. Ore. Certiorari denied.

Mr. Justice Stevens,

concurring in the denial of, certiorari.

The question we must first decide when acting on a petition for certiorari is whether we should set the case for full briefing and oral argument and thereafter decide the merits. Nothing in Mr. Justice Brennan’s opinion dissenting from the denial of certiorari in this case persuades me that any purpose would be served by such argument. For there is no reason to believe that the majority of the Court which decided Miller v. California, 413 U. S. 15, is any less adamant than the minority. Accordingly, regardless of how I might vote on the merits after full argument, it would be pointless to grant certiorari in case after case of this character only to have Miller reaffirmed time after time.

Since my dissenting Brethren have recognized the force of this reasoning in the past, I believe they also could properly vote to deny certiorari in this case without acting inconsistently with their principled views on the merits. In all events, until a valid reason for voting to grant one of these petitions is put forward, I shall continue to vote to deny. In the interest of conserving scarce law library space, I shall not repeat this explanation every time I cast such a vote.

MR. Justice Brennan,

with whom Mr. Justice Stewart and Mr. Justice Marshall join,

dissenting.

Petitioners were convicted of selling obscene motion picture films in violation of the recently enacted provisions of Oregon Laws 1973, c. 699, § 4, now codified as Ore. Rev. Stat. § 167.087 (1975). Section 4 provides in pertinent part:

“(1) A person commits the crime of disseminating obscene material if he knowingly makes, exhibits, sells, delivers or provides, or offers or agrees to make, exhibit, sell, deliver or provide, or has in his possession with intent to exhibit, sell, deliver or provide any obscene writing, picture, motion picture, films, slides, drawings or other visual reproduction.
“(2) As used in subsection (1) of this section, matter is obscene if:
“(a) It depicts or describes in a patently offensive manner sadomasochistic abuse or sexual conduct;
“(b) The average person applying contemporary state standards would find the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest in sex; and
“(c) Taken as a whole, it lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.”

The judgments of conviction were affirmed by the Oregon Court of Appeals, 22 Ore. App. 132, 537 P. 2d 1182, and a timely petition for review was subsequently denied by the Oregon Supreme Court.

It is my view that “at least in the absence of distribution to juveniles or obtrusive exposure to unconsenting adults, the First and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit the State and Federal Governments from attempting wholly to suppress sexually oriented materials on the basis of their allegedly 'obscene’ contents.” Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton, 413 U. S. 49, 113 (1973) (Brennan, J., dissenting). It is clear that, tested by that constitutional standard, Oregon Laws 1973, c. 699, § 4, is constitutionally overbroad and therefore invalid on its face. For the reasons stated in my dissent in Miller v. California, 413 U. S. 15, 47 (1973), I would therefore grant certiorari and, since the judgment of the Oregon Court of Appeals was rendered after Miller, reverse. In that circumstance, I have no occasion to consider whether the other question presented by petitioners merits plenary review. See Heller v. New York, 413 U. S. 483, 495 (1973) (Brennan, J., dissenting).

I note that this case particularly exemplifies the difficulty and arbitrariness inherent in any attempt to articulate a standard of obscenity. I need only quote the standard as applied by the judge before whom petitioners’ case was tried:

“ ‘Well, what is patently offensive?
'And, frankly, I had to kind of apply my own standard, which, I believe, corresponds with the standards of the community. And the standard probably, simply stated and boiled down, is the same one that was taught to me by my mother from the day I was a small child. If there was something of which I would not want her to know, then don’t do it. Pretty simple.
“ 'Applying that standard I would think that I wouldn’t get any quarrel out of anyone in this room, that they wouldn’t want their mothers sitting next to them while they looked at either one of those movies. They are patently offensive.’ ” Pet. for Cert. 8-9.

       His quotation of the standard of obscenity applied by the trial judge in this case supports the argument made in his dissent in Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton, 413 U. S. 49, 73, that there has been a failure to define standards which will give adequate guidance to the lower state and federal courts in making obscenity determinations with any degree of predictable consistency. I do not understand him to be using the quotation as a separate argument for granting certiorari in this particular case because the Oregon Court of Appeals did not consider the constitutionality of that standard, but held instead that petitioners had not properly preserved this claim under Oregon law.

    Matheny v. Alabama.
   Ct. Crim. App. Ala. Certiorari denied.

Mr. Justice Stevens took no part in the consideration or decision of this petition.

Mr. Justice Brennan,

with whom Mr. Justice Stewart and Mr. Justice Marshall join,

dissenting.

Petitioner was convicted in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Ala., of violating Ala. Code Tit. 14, § 374 (4) (Supp. 1973). That law provides in pertinent part:

“(1) Every person who, with knowledge of its contents, . . . has in his possession with intent to sell or commercially distribute, or to give away or offer to give away, any obscene printed or written matter or material . . . shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be imprisoned in the county jail, or sentenced to hard labor for the county, for not more than one year, and may be fined not more than two thousand dollars for each offense, or be both so imprisoned and fined in the discretion of the court.
“(2) Every person who, with knowledge of its contents, has in his possession any obscene printed or written matter or material . . . shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be imprisoned in the county jail, or sentenced to hard labor for the county, for not more than six months, or may be fined not more than five hundred dollars for each offense, or be both so imprisoned and fined in the discretion of the court.”

Under § 374 (3):

“ ‘Obscene’ means lewd, lascivious, filthy and pornographic and that to the average person, applying contemporary community standards, its dominant theme taken as a whole appeals to prurient interest.”

The indictment filed against petitioner charged him with three counts of violating § 374. The first count charged petitioner with selling a magazine primarily containing photographs of nude women. Genitals were exposed in some of the photographs. Count 2 of the indictment charged petitioner with selling an unillustrated short novel containing descriptions of sexual acts. The third count of the indictment charged the sale of another unillustrated short novel also containing descriptions of sexual acts.

Upon inquiry to the trial court, petitioner’s jury was instructed that it could “return a verdict as to either one of the counts in the indictment.” Record 100. The jury subsequently returned the general verdict: “We the jury find the Defendant guilty.” Id., at 102. Petitioner was adjudged guilty by the trial court and ultimately sentenced to six months of imprisonment and assessed a fine of $500. The judgment and sentence were affirmed by the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals. 55 Ala. App. 119, 313 So. 2d 547 (1975). A petition for writ of certiorari was denied by the Alabama Supreme Court. 294 Ala. 765, 313 So. 2d 552 (1975).

It is my view that “at least in the absence of distribution to juveniles or obtrusive exposure to unconsenting adults, the First and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit the State and Federal Governments from attempting wholly to suppress sexually oriented materials on the basis of their allegedly ‘obscene' contents.” Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton, 413 U. S. 49, 113 (1973) (Brennan, J., dissenting). It is clear that, tested by that constitutional standard, § 374 (4), as it incorporates the definition of obscene material in § 374 (3), is constitutionally over-broad and therefore invalid on its face. For the reasons stated in my dissent in Miller v. California, 413 U. S. 15, 47 (1973), I would therefore grant certiorari and, since the judgment of the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals was rendered after Miller, reverse, petitioner’s conviction being invalid on all counts. In that circumstance, I have no occasion to consider whether the question of vagueness presented by petitioner merits plenary review. See Heller v. New York, 413 U. S. 483, 494-495 (1973) (Brennan, J., dissenting).

Even accepting the Court’s decision in Miller v. California, supra, and the obscenity standards there set forth, petitioner’s conviction should be set aside. It is this Court’s duty independently to review the fact of obscenity necessary to petitioner’s conviction. See Jenkins v. Georgia, 418 U. S. 153 (1974). Under Miller, a work may not be obscene unless it “depicts ... , in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct.” 413 U. S., at 24. While exhibition of the genitals may constitute sexual conduct, such exhibition must be patently offensive and lewd, id., at 25. “[Njudity alone is not enough to make material legally obscene under the Miller standards.” Jenkins v. Georgia, supra, at 161. Tested by those standards, the material involved in Count 1, merely containing photographs of nude women, is clearly not obscene. This being so, a conviction of petitioner based only on Count 1 of the indictment cannot stand. Because of the general nature of the jury’s verdict, in the light of the trial court’s instruction to the jury, it is entirely possible that petitioner’s conviction did indeed rest solely on the first count. In accordance with the Court’s decision in Bachellar v. Maryland, 397 U. S. 564 (1970), therefore, petitioner’s conviction should be set aside.

    Slepicoff, dba Graduate Enterprises v. United States.
   C. A. 5th Cir. Certiorari denied.

Mr. Justice Brennan,

with whom Mr. Justice Stewart and Mr. Justice Marshall join,

dissenting.

Petitioner was convicted after jury trial in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida of mailing obscene advertisements in violation of 18 U. S. C. § 1461. That section provides in pertinent part:

“Every obscene, lewd, lascivious, indecent, filthy or vile article, matter, thing, device, or substance; ...
“Is declared to be nonmailable matter and shall not be conveyed in the mails or delivered from any post office or by any letter carrier.
“Whoever knowingly uses the mails for the mailing ... of anything declared by this section ... to be nonmailable . . . shall be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than five years . . . .”

The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed. 524 F. 2d 1244.

I adhere to my dissent in United States v. Orito, 413 U. S. 139, 147 (1973), in which, speaking of 18 U. S. C. § 1462, which is similar in scope to § 1461, I expressed the view that “[w]hatever the extent of the Federal Government’s power to bar the distribution of allegedly obscene material to juveniles or the offensive exposure of such material to unconsenting adults, the statute before us is clearly overbroad and unconstitutional on its face.” 413 U. S., at 147-148. For the reasons stated in my dissent in Miller v. California, 413 U. S. 15, 47 (1973), I would therefore grant certiorari, and, since the judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit was rendered after Orito, reverse.

In these circumstances, I have no occasion to consider whether the other questions presented by petitioner merit plenary review. See Heller v. New York, 413 U. S. 483, 494 (1973) (Brennan, J., dissenting).
