 The questions presented upon this appeal are whether the district court erred in holding that the appellant's three-year state sentence for assault with intent to murder did not amount to a vague or indefinite sentence because it was made to run consecutively with a previously imposed fifty-year sentence, which was in the process of being appealed; and (2) that the imposition of consecutive sentences does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment
