1Opinion of the CourtAgee, J.
Defendant appeals following jury conviction of first degree murder. (Pen. Code, §§ 187, 189.) In an unpublished opinion (1 Crim. No. 4705) a prior first degree murder conviction was reversed on Dorado grounds. (People v. Dorado, 62 Cal.2d 338 [42 Cal.Rptr. 169, 398 P.2d 361].) Appellant was 17 years of age at the time of the murder and therefore the death penalty could not be imposed. (Pen. Code, § 190.1.) No contention is made that the evidence is not sufficient to support the judgment.
