In March 1957 appellant and a codefendant were convicted of first degree robbery [Cal.Pen.Code, § 211] and were both sentenced
to imprisonment for the term prescribed by law, which is from five years to life. (Cal.Pen.Code, §Â§ 213, 671, 1168). In 1959
the California Adult Authority, pursuant to Cal.Pen.Code, § 5077, fixed the indeterminate sentences of appellant and his codefendant
at six years. Because of an infraction of the prison rules by appellant, the Adult Authority in 1960 rescinded its previous
determination of appellant's term. (Cal.Pen.Code, § 3020). In July 1962, after appellant had again broken prison rules, the
Adult Authority redetermined his sentence at a term of ten and one-half years pursuant to Cal.Pen.Code, § 3020. Appellant
