The summary grounds of appeal are examined.
The Defendant’s indivating ground of appeal is that it is unlawful to punish the Defendant in violation of Article 5-4(5) of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes, on the ground that the former who was sentenced to imprisonment under Article 5-4(5) does not include the former who was sentenced to punishment for habitual larceny under Article 5-4(1) of the same Act, but is sentenced to imprisonment not less than three times due to larceny, including habitual larceny.
