U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Charles W. Lacefield v. Dr. George J. Beto, Director, Texas Department of Corrections, 453 F.2d 1368 (5th Cir. 1972)
1972 U.S. App. LEXIS 11922
Bell, Ainsworth, Godbold

Charles W. Lacefield v. Dr. George J. Beto, Director, Texas Department of Corrections

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Affirmed. 1 See Local Rule 21. 2

1

. The questions presented upon this appeal are whether the district court erred in holding that the appellant’s three-year state sentence for assault with intent to murder did not amount to a vague or indefinite sentence because it was made to run consecutively with a previously imposed fifty-year sentence, which was in the process of being appealed; and (2) that the imposition of consecutive sentences does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment.

2

. See N.L.R.B. v. Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, 5 Cir., 1970, 430 F.2d 966.
