COTHORN
v.
WARDEN OF MARYLAND PENITENTIARY

[P.C. No. 25, September Term, 1959.]

Court of Appeals of Maryland.

Decided November 23, 1959.

*582 Before BRUNE, C.J., and HENDERSON, HAMMOND, PRESCOTT and HORNEY, JJ.

PER CURIAM:

The applicant was convicted under three separate indictments of three separate offenses — robbery, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and assault. None of the individual sentences exceeded the maximum authorized by law. Separate offenses may be punished separately. Williams v. State, 205 Md. 470, 109 A.2d 89. A disparity between the sentence imposed upon the applicant and that imposed upon his codefendant affords no basis for relief under the Post Conviction Procedure Act.

Application denied.
