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.
