Overview: Transient occupancy tax required under City of Cloverdale Ordinance No. 257 was not vague in violation of Due Process Clause and did not violate the Equal Protection Clause because tax applied equally to all transients, i.e., those occupying a room in any hotel for a period of less than 30 calendar days; it also was not preempted by state law.
