Description

This appeal requires us to reconcile an apparent conflict between a statute, 18 U.S.C. § 3584(a) (1988), and a provision of the United States Sentencing Guidelines, Guideline § 5G1.3. More specifically, we must determine whether a district court retains discretion to impose a concurrent sentence on an offender who commits a crime while serving an unexpired sentence for an unrelated offense. We conclude that the district court does retain this discretion, and vacate the sentence in the present case.
