1Opinion of the Court
STAFFORD, District Judge:
This cause involves a challenge to the constitutionality of a Miami ordinance regulating the distribution of obscene and indecent material through cable television. The district court found the provisions of the ordinance regulating the distribution of “indecent material” constitutionally over-broad. Additionally, the district judge held that the ordinance “violate[s] the notion of fairness implicit in one’s right to due process of law.” Cruz v. Ferre, 571 F.Supp. 125, 126 (S.D.Fla.1983). We affirm on both first amendment and due process grounds.
