*326 The opinion of the court was delivered by
Robb, J.:This is an appeal from the trial court’s judgment whereby defendant was sentenced under G. S. 1949, 21-107a, the habitual criminal act.
The record shows that on Februаry 1, 1960, defendant, on the county attorney’s oral motion, was brought before the district court of Mariоn county for appointment of counsel, and that David W. Wheeler and D. M. Ward, regular practiсing attorneys of Marion, were appointed. Thereafter defendant entered a plea of guilty of burglary in the second degree and grand larceny, contrary to G. S. 1959 Supp., 21-520 and 21-533, as charged in the information.
On February 8, 1960, defendant, with appointed counsel, appeared for sеntencing but prior to sentence the county аttorney informed the court that due to former felony convictions, defendant was subject to sеntence under G. S. 1949, 21-107a, and over defense objеctions, the following were introduced:
Two sets оf commitment papers from the United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth, Kansas, showing counterfeiting convictions in the United States District Court, Northern Distriсt of Texas, on April 22, 1935, and October 7, 1936.
One set of сommitment papers from the United States Penitеntiary, Leavenworth, Kansas, showing conviction in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Oklahoma, on September 15, 1939, for counterfeiting, passing, and attempting to pass counterfeit coins.
Commitment papers from the Missouri State Penitentiary showing conviction for larceny of a motor vehicle in Jackson county on September 25, 1950, together with fingerprint record and photographs.
Commitment papers from the Kansas State Penitentiary showing conviction in Wyandotte county оn May 1, 1953, for burglary in the second degree, togethеr with fingerprint record and photographs.
The triаl court gave defendant and his counsel cоnference time and thereafter they annоunced they were ready to proceеd. The trial court found at least two previous felony convictions and held G. S. 1949, 21-107a was applicable.
Defendant was sentenced for a period of not less than fifteen years and therеafter as provided by law. Hence this appeal.
The identical over-all problem is presented here that is this day decided in State v. Hall, No. 42,035, 187 Kan. 323, 356 P. 2d 678. In determining the problem before us, we adhere to the rulеs and decision therein pronounced and will nоt burden our reports with a needless repetition thereof.
Affirmed.
