U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-3516
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Murphy and Bye, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. Record showed the court's adequately
considered the sentencing factors set out in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3553(a); by
statute, defendant's federal sentence did not commence at the time of
sentencing as he was "on loan" from state authorities pursuant to a writ of
habeas corpus ad prosequendum and was not committed to federal
custody after his sentencing; district court did not abuse its discretion in
determining that the federal sentence should be served consecutively to
defendant's state time. Judge Bye, dissenting and asserting the district
court committed a significant procedural error by failing to recognize the
full extent of its sentencing authority to make defendant's sentence
concurrent with his state time.
