Per Curiam:

We granted certiorari in this case to consider whether the Court of Special Appeals erred in holding that Maryland Code (1957, 1976 Repl. Vol.) Art. 27, § 643B (c) permits the imposition of only one mandatory sentence. For the reasons *2 stated in Calhoun v. State, 46 Md. App. 478, 418 A. 2d 1241 (1980) the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals is affirmed.

Judgment of the Court of Special Appeals affirmed; costs to be paid by Prince George’s County. Mandate to issue forthwith.
