Clinton, J.,
concurring in the'result.
I concur in the portion of the opinion which is founded upon the language of section 39-669.07, R. R. S. 1943. It is clear to me that the language: “. . . (3) if such conviction is for a third offense, or subsequent offense thereafter, such person shall be imprisoned in the Nebraska Penal and Correctional Complex for not less than one year nor more than three years ...” clearly and unambiguously indicates the legislative intention that the habitual criminal act not apply for convictions under section 39-669.07, R. R. S. 1943, and the maximum sentence for all subsequent offenses is 3 years. Under the new Criminal Code, the maximum penalty would be 5 years. § 28-105, R. S. Supp., 1978.
