Before TUTTLE, BELL, and GOLDBERG, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Appellant, a bookstore operator under indictment and facing prosecution for allegedly violating the Georgia obscenity laws, Ga.  Code 26-2101 and 6301, sought a declaratory judgment that these laws were unconstitutional and that an arrest warrant could not be issued without a prior adversary hearing.  She also sought injunctive relief to avoid prosecution and for other purposes.


2
The district court dismissed the complaint on the merits and this appeal followed.  The supervening Supreme Court decisions in Younger v. Harris, 1971, 401 U.S. 37, 91 S.Ct. 746, 28 L.Ed.2d 669 (Feb. 23, 1971); Samuels v. Mackell, 1971, 401 U.S. 66, 91 S.Ct. 764, 28 L.Ed.2d 688, (Feb. 23, 1971); Perez v. Ledesma, 1971, Part I, 401 U.S. 82, 91 S.Ct. 674, 28 L.Ed.2d 701 (Feb. 23, 1971), make it clear that appellant was not due to have her complaint considered on the merits.  No irreparable damage in the form of bad faith, harassment or otherwise is alleged.  The proper disposition under these decisions is to dismiss the complaint without reaching the merits.  Samuels v. Mackell, supra.  We vacate and remand with direction that the complaint be dismissed for failure to state a claim for federal intervention.


3
Vacated and remanded with direction.
