JUDICIAL DECISIONS
Article not void for vagueness. —Given the extreme tolerance with which a federal court must scrutinize a state law in a vagueness challenge, an attack on the imprecision of the language employed in this article cannot be sustained. Exxon Corp. v. Georgia Ass'n of Petro. Retailers, 484 F. Supp. 1008, 1979 U. S. Dist. LEXIS 7715 (N. D. Ga. 1979), aff'd, 644 F.2d 1030, 1981 U. S. App. LEXIS 13419 (5th Cir. 1981).
