1Opinion of the Court
SIMPSON, Circuit Judge:
This action arises from the seizure of a single print of the motion picture film, “The Secret Sex Lives of Romeo and Juliet”, and the arrest by police of the City of Orlando of the owner and operator of the theatre in which the film was exhibited. The basis of the seizure and arrest was the alleged obscenity of the film under the provisions of City Ordinance Sec. 48.56-1 of the City of Orlando and Florida Statutes, Sections 847.011 and 847.03, F.S.A. adopted in haec verba and in toto by the city ordinance. We do not reach the issue of obscenity.
