United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided June 20, 1979.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William J. Scott, Atty. Gen., Donald B. Mackay, Melbourne A. Noel, Jr., Fred H. Montgomery, Michael B. Weinstein, Asst. Attys. Gen., Chicago, Ill., for respondent-appellant.

Charles R. Purcell, Loyola University School of Law, Chicago, Ill., for petitioner-appellee.

Before CUMMINGS, SPRECHER and WOOD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner Lockett's writ of Habeas Corpus was granted on May 4, 1978, on the ground that because the Illinois trial court had become bound at the plea hearing by the agreement entered into between the prosecutor and Lockett, the trial court's failure to inform Lockett of the mandatory parole term required that the parole term be vacated, pursuant to our decision in United States ex rel. Baker v. Finkbeiner, 551 F.2d 180
