OPINION

WOOD, Judge.

Appealing from a denial of post conviction relief, defendant contends that he is entitled to • credit on his sentence for time spent in presentence confinement. He relies on Sec. 40A-29-25,- NMSA 1953 (Supp. 1967), which provides for such a credit.

Defendant’s' presenterice confinement time 'occurred prior to the effective date of Sec. 40A-29-25, supra. Sec. 40Á-29-25 is not to be given retroactive effect. State v. Sedillo (Ct.App.), 79 N.M. 289, 442 P.2d 601, decided May 24, 1968. State v. Padilla, 78 N.M. 702, 437 P.2d 163 (Ct.App.1968); see State v. Sedillo, 79 N.M. 9, 439 P.2d 226 (1968).

The Order denying relief is affirmed.

It is so ordered.
