Heading: the issue of re-sentencing

Text: The defendant also claims that he is entitled to re-sentencing under the presumptive-sentence provisions of House Bill 1589, Colo. Sess. Laws 1977, ch. 216, 18-1-105 at 867. People v. McKenna, Colo., 611 P.2d 574 (1980), resolved these issues adversely to the defendant. McKenna held that the legislative postponement of the effective date of House Bill 1589 comported with the separation of powers doctrine under Article III of the Colorado Constitution, and that the prospective provisions of section 25 of House Bill 1589, as amended in March 1979, Colo.Sess. Laws 1979, ch. 157, sec. 25 at 672, did not infringe upon the rule-making power of this court under Article VI, Section 21, of the Colorado Constitution. The judgment is affirmed.
