In the Matter of the Application of JOHN JORDAN for a Writ of HabeasCorpus.

THE COURT.

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 re Lee, 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.)

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.
