Newton, J.,
concurring.
I concur in the opinion of Smith, J. Defendant was convicted and sentenced under section 28-472.04 (3), R. S. Supp. 1969, which fixed a penalty of not less than 2 nor more than 5 years imprisonment. The penalty has since been reduced to not less than 1 nor more than 5 years. See § 28-4,125, R. S. Supp., 1971. In view of the statutory change and the fact that defendant’s previous record was good, a reduction in the sentence imposed appears justified.
