Description
Deats petitioned for a writ of mandamus ordering penitentiary officials to correct his commitments to conform to the law. See Conston v. New Mexico St.Bd. of Probation & Parole, 79 N.M. 385, 444 P.2d 296 (1968). The parties stipulated to the facts. The trial court ruled contrary to Deats contentions; he appeals. There are two issues: (1) the authority of a trial court to impose consecutive sentences and (2) the meaning of § 42-1-59, N.M.S.A. 1953 (2nd Repl. Vol. 6). Both issues are directed to Deats eligibility for parole. See § 41-17-24, N.M.S.A. 1953 (2nd Repl. Vol. 6).
