General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Bucolo v. Adkins, 424 U.S. 641 (1976)
Bucolo v. Adkins No. 75-369 Decided March 8, 1976 424 U.S. 641
ON MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE PETITION
FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Syllabus
Where further proceedings pursuant to an information charging petitioners with violating Florida’s obscenity statute were foreclosed by this Court’s judgment summarily reversing the Florida Supreme Court’s affirmance of petitioners’ convictions, the latter court, by remanding the case to the trial court for further proceedings, failed to effectuate this Court’s judgment, and its failure to do so was not cured by the intervening exercise of prosecutorial discretion in nolle prossing the charges. Accordingly, petitioners’ motion for leave to file a petition to mandamus the Florida Supreme Court to conform its decision to this Court’s mandate is granted.
