No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion
The petitioner was given an indeterminate sentence for robbery. The petitioner claims that the sentence is void for uncertainty, citing People v. Sama, 189 Cal. 153 [207 P. 893]; People v. Mendosa, 178 Cal. 509 [193 P. 998]; In reLee, 177 Cal. 690 [171 P. 958], and Penal Code, sections 213, 671, and 1168.
The sentence was, in effect, for the maximum term provided by law. (In re Lee, supra.) *Page 417 The maximum term provided by law was life imprisonment.
The petition is denied.
Wilbur, C. J., Myers, J., Seawell, J., Waste, J., and Kerrigan, J., concurred.
