Justice Brennan,
dissenting.
I agree with Justice White that the record in this case presents clear evidence of waiver and that remand is therefore inappropriate. Rather than grant the petition for a writ of certiorari, however, I would vote to summarily reverse the conviction for distributing obscene materials in violation of Ga. Code §26-2101 (1975) under the view I have frequently expressed, and to which I adhere, that such an obscenity statue is facially unconstitutional. See Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton, 413 U. S. 49, 73, 113 (1973) (Brennan, J., dissenting); McKinney v. Alabama, 424 U. S. 669, 678 (1976) (separate opinion of Brennan, J.).
