2012The statute’s compliance with this last prong of the O’Brien test effectively forecloses plaintiffs’ overbreadth argument, which formed the basis of the Court of Appeals’ decision. “ [Particularly where conduct and not merely speech is involved, we believe that the over- breadth of a statute must not only be real, but substantial as well, judged in relation to the statute’s plainly legitimate sweep.” Broadrick v. Oklahoma, 413 U.S. 601, 615 , 93 S. Ct. 2908, 2918 (1973).

Cauble v. Cauble green

2 sentences

2007The trial court analyzed the "escalator clause" provisions appropriately under the O'Brien test, noting that: All of the monetary gains the Defendant received from the sale of his interests in the Colby business entities were generated by the Defendant's active employment and performance of services for the Colby business entities and such gains are subject to the escalator provisions of the "Agreement." Since this Court is bound by the trial court's findings where there is competent evidence to support them, Cauble, 133 N.C.
