Cothorn v. Warden

221 Md. 581 (1959) 155 A.2d 652 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.
