Miller v. California

POSSIBLE NON-MERITS OPINION
418 U.S. 915July 26, 19741974
Switch between the majority/per curiam opinion and concurrences/dissents when available.

Appeal from App. Dept., Super. Ct. Cal., County of Orange, dismissed for want of substantial federal question. Mr. Justice Douglas, being of the view that any state ban on obscenity is prohibited by the First Amendment, made applicable to the States by the Fourteenth (see Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton, 413 U. S. 49, 70 (1973) (Douglas, J., dissenting)), would note jurisdiction and reverse the judgment.
