CONOVER, Judge,
concurring in result.
I disagree with the majority's claim we are required to assume Webb's "performance" was not obscene, as is the case in California. The matter at issue has been determined to be obscene by the fact finder below, and in this appeal on independent review, I determine it to be obviously so. It was "patently offensive 'hard core' sexual conduct," and fell within the exception carved out by Jenkins v. Georgia (1974) 418 U.S. 153, 160, 94 S.Ct. 2750, 2755, 41 L.Ed.2d 642. Accordingly, we are not compelled to make such assumption.
Otherwise, I agree with the majority and concur in result.
