Description
TOBRINER, J. Defendants were charged in the Municipal Court of the Los Angeles Judicial District with a violation of Penal Code section 311.2, which proscribes the possession of obscene matter for distribution in this state.*fn1 In chambers, the trial court examined the challenged material, a single copy of a magazine entitled "International Nudist Sun, Vol. 1, No. 5" (hereinafter referred to as "INS #5"). The court ruled that the magazine fell within the constitutional protection of the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution; concluded that it was not "obscene"*fn2 within the meaning of Penal Code section 311, subdivision (a); and ordered the case dismissed. On appeal by the People, the Appellate Department of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County affirmed and then certified the case to the Court of Appeal which granted a transfer. After reversal by the Court of Appeal, we granted a hearing.
