HODGES, Chief Justice.

The district attorney appeals the trial court's ruling that section 12-22-319(5), C.R.S.1973 (1978 Repl.Vol. 5), is unconstitutional as providing a different penalty for identical conduct also proscribed in section 12-22-126(1)(e), C.R.S.1973 (1978 Repl.Vol. 5) (1981 Supp.). The premise for the trial court's ruling was found to have no merit in People v. Wellington, Colo., 633 P.2d 1390
