Reagan, District Judge,
dissenting.
Although I agree the convictions of the defendant should be affirmed, I do not believe consecutive sentences should have been imposed for the two counts of robbery. The robbery of the two sisters involved a single transaction, and a double penalty by the way of consecutive sentences is not justified. I would modify the judgment of the District Court by providing the sentences imposed on the two robbery counts should run concurrently, principally for the reasons enunciated by the dissent in State v. Chapple, ante p. 4, 246 N. W. 2d 714 (1976).
