Stanley et al.  v.  United States

On Petition for Writ of Certiorari from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

No. 524.  Argued: N/A --- Decided: December 7, 1970

Petition for writ of certiorari granted, insofar as it seeks review of affirmance by the Court of Appeals of count 5 (possession count) of convictions of petitioners Stanley, Thomas, and Massey. Judgment as to these three individuals vacated insofar as that count is concerned and case remanded to the Court of Appeals so that it may consider suggestions contained in the memorandum the Solicitor General filed here. By this remand this Court intimates no view as to merits of the Solicitor General's position. In all other respects the petition for writ of certiorari is denied.

MR. JUSTICE WHITE and MR. JUSTICE BLACKMUN dissent and would deny certiorari.
