Opinion
The appellant was convicted of the offense of robbery, and his punishment assessed at confinement in the state penitentiary for a term of 35 years.
The record is before us without a statement of facts or bills of exception. No defect either in the indictment or procedure has been pointed out or has been perceived. No question is presented for review.
The judgment and sentence are improperly entered, in that they fail to take note of the Indeterminate Sentence Law as set forth in article 775, C. C. P. 1925, as amended by Acts 1931, c. 207 (Vernon’s Ann. C. O. P.-art. [604]*604775). Tlie judgment and sentence will be reformed in that particular so as to declare that the appellant shall he confined in the penitentiary for a period of not less than five nor more than thirty-five years.
As reformed, the judgment is affirmed.
PER CURIAM.
The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the court.
