    Walter Goodlow v. State of Indiana.
    [No. 2-873A186.
    Filed December 19, 1974.]
    
      
      Harriette Bailey Conn, (Mrs.), Public Defender of Indiana, Carr L. Darden, Sr., Deputy Public Defender, for appellant.
    
      Theodore L. Sendalc, Attorney General, Robert F. Collcer, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
   White, J.

Appellant appeals from a post-conviction relief judgment (PC. 1) which reduced his ten to twenty-five year robbery sentence to five to twenty-five years, contending that judicial modification of an unconstitutional statutory penalty to render the statute constitutional is judicial legislation prohibited by Article III, section 1, Constitution of Indiana (separation of powers), and ultimately contending that the imposition of any sentence under the unconstitutional statute is error. Exactly the same argument was rejected in Landaw v. State (1972), 258 Ind. 67, 279 N.E.2d 230; Jacobs v. State (1972), 153 Ind. App. 102, 286 N.E.2d 224; and Davis v. State (1973), 156 Ind. App. 534, 297 N.E. 2d 450.

The judgment is affirmed.

Sullivan, P.J., and Buchanan, J., concur.
