Description
This appeal requires review of appellants conviction of interstate transportation of obscene matter. Following indictment and a non-jury trial resulting in a finding of guilt, the district court imposed a six-month sentence of imprisonment and levied a $3,500.00 fine. The principal issues arising in this appeal relate to appellants standing to contest the legality of governmental seizure of allegedly obscene matter and the propriety of the seizure itself. Our review of the record and the controlling legal precedent reveals that the district court erroneously admitted into evidence various books and magazines seized by the government in violation of the Fourth Amendment. We accordingly reverse.
