Rodowsky; J.,

concurring:

The only issue here is whether, under the facts of this case, application of Art. 27, § 643B (c) to Raiford violates equal protection. No enhanced punishment under § 643B (c) could have been imposed upon a person, otherwise identically situate to Raiford in all respects, whose 1967 criminal conduct in Maryland occurred outside of Baltimore City. Long v. Robinson, 436 F.2d 1116 (4th Cir. 1971) is persuasive authority for the application of the principle applied there to the disparity in the instant case. I understand this Court to be holding no more than that.
