Does a sentence of life without parole need to include a minimum parole date?

Lopez, however, did not involve a defendant sentenced to life without parole. The defendant there was sentenced to a term of 25 years to life for first degree murder. (People v. Lopez, supra, 34 Cal.4th at p. 1005). Here, on the other hand, defendant was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for first degree murder with two special circumstances. Because a term of life without parole contains no anticipated parole date, it would be illogical to include a minimum parole date on such a term.
