The following excerpt is from United States v. Cangiano, 464 F.2d 320 (2nd Cir. 1972):
Similar to the search warrant in Marti, this warrant merely parroted the statutory language. Moreover, assuming that this were a situation where the generality of the warrant could be cured by the specificity of the affidavit, the vice remains, as the affidavit "gave no guidelines to the officers as to what is obscene and what is not." United States v. Marti, supra, 421 F.2d at 1268.
