holding the third sentence of thirty five eighty four a only applies in the context of previously imposed sentences or sentences imposed at the same time the reasoning is that the concurrent consecutive decision is a judicial one and it doesn't belong to the executive branch which you disha decision do you think controls here the control and judicial decision is the subsequent state court judge decision modification of the original sentence so i would say that those sentences have to be read together because the initial sentence was fully concurrent there were efforts between two thousand and three and two thousand and eleven every minute of which is bleeding away a consecutive something well the point of my question is in the in the subsequent order it appears that the first order was vacated yes it was you know i don't see how the first order has any effect anymore it does because the second order of specifically references the intent of the parties that it was to run fully concurrent and that well and i would refer the court to the order itself at page g e r eighty six eighty seven where it's the only reason for this was that it wasn't really fully concurrently and that the that the dispute between the state and the and arguments is that the position being taken in federal court now is contrary to the decision that your client took in state court which was that federal relief was unavailable for this problem and therefore state relief was required and the state court did grant relief and specifically my question since this that the government didn't raise that earlier but my question is whether judicial stop is a way of a ball defense because it's designed not for the parties but for the integrity of the court so is that first of all is it one of about a second regardless of your answer to that doesn't apply yes  it's designed to protect the integrity of the system i believe in a system that's predicated on adversarial parties that the participants would be asserting that if they believe that it was appropriate if they don't believe it's appropriate they don't assert it if they don't believe  if they don't serve it it's wave so i do believe it's way we also have no identity of parties which is basic to any stoppel analysis this was between the state and the petitioner had nothing to do with the federal government except for that the federal government had created the problem so this was a partial remedy but nine years is a big difference and it's not something that is he made any kind of false statement or misleading same he stated that's that's not a requirement or judicial stuff which is predicated on taking a different position between before one cornum and turning around taking a second different position after you've convinced court number one i believe it is predicated on unfairness and there nothing unfair about what he did what he did was to try to stop the roll of time that was creating a de facto longer and longer consecutive sentence he was able to mitigate it but he was that able to relieve it it said nothing about his ability to try to enforce the intent of the parties that recognized both in the initial sentence for the state court judge and in the modification where they specifically say we were intending fully concurrent that hasn't happened if there's any problem with the earlier proceeding that's between the state and the petitioner but what this court is passed with is looking at ace executive agency that has used its executive power to create a de facto consecutive sentence that no federal judge has ordered and that the words the order of the state court judge in we have to do a reset taylor and reynolds very long opinions and very hard work trying to analyze a complicated area of law they are no longer valid they both are completely ruiz said no and the district court in this case said no so we have a work in front of us to try to figure out how do we handle the situation of that one that the regional council for  opiate self called one of the most complicated and frequently misunderstood areas of law and the the clean up that i think is appropriate here is going back to basic constitutional issues especially the separation of powers which this court has never ruled on in either taylor for reynolds and hold that where the federal court is silent a court speaks that speaking is entitled to be honored and respected that there's nothing to parole for the earlier for the later state sentence would be swallowed up he was going to be released in twenty twenty six on parole and out day in federal court until twenty twenty eight so it was going that was what was going to happen there was not going to be a tail he was going to be swallowed up with the full service of the four hundred seventeen months and that's not what's happened the  asking that the defer to the judgment of a state court in which that judgment has itself been vacated by another state court judgment but before getting to the moon is issue i want to address a honor to the extent that the move this issue is unclear he didn't get them not per talk designation correct that's correct well so that at least that aspect of it would seem not to be well the question would be whether intervening circumstances have provided him the relief he's seeking he's asking for a for a designation and accrediting of time spent of all but i have a specific question for you we have a case called taylor which said that concurrent sentences imposed by state judges are nothing more than recommendations to federal let me first be clear with respect to sets or if you were listening just to the previous argument in a vacuum you would think the entirety of sex or was the interpretation of the third sentence of thirty five eighty four it's not and it's an interpretation of the first sentence of that statute the third sentence only appears once in the majority opinion as a whole and that single reference is in order it is in reference to the fact that this default rule is not a matter of discretion at all and that's at the third footnote at page fourteen sixty nine of the sets are opinion so it simply doesn't upset the prior rulings that had to do with third sentence but even assuming that the petitioner is correct on this score and that basically the third sentence doesn't apply wholesale well then what you're faced with is only one particular mandate to federal authorities which is that a federal sentenced starts when the person arrives in federal custody now at that point there's an we return back basically back to the bill gucci scheme that recognize that there is no possible way out of this situation at all in other words the fact that there might not be an ability to have this gap filling function by the third sentence doesn't somehow empower state courts to bind federal courts there's nothing in the sentence or in federal law that provides for that but the fact of the matter is at that point the only resource left to the petitioner in this case would be a known protein designation that was something that the b o p examined exam did following its own procedures and in any event proceeding isn't reviewable because there isn't a jurisdiction under the jurisdiction stripping statute section thirty six twenty five but just returning very quickly to dish will stop your honor i did want to note that there is no p requirement none is specified in new hampshire v maine in the other main cases and in fact the ninth circuit somewhat recently in the milton be green case and the case citation on that is  six ninety two f thirty nine eighty three that was a case in which there wasn't privy of parties across separate court proceedings and obviously that isn't something that has been required in applying the the principle before nor is it even the case that one has to recall received full relief in one instance in order for judicial stoppel to be invoked in the second instance that would be conflating this will stop with the movement's doctrine and that's simply not the case honor pointed out it's about the integrity of the courts and on a similar vein i also want to point out here and i concede entirely this was not raised in the district court but the abuse of the writs doctrine applies also here both the one in the in fact in your honor is all about basically protecting the integrity of the courts and here it's not simply about the prejudice that would be suffered by the government by the fact that this issue was previously resolved by the third intense circuit but the fact that those circuits judgments are left measure of deference and particularly in a case like this which is a twenty two forty one motion which has to be brought in the district of confinement where a petitioner might be moved about from one district in fact one circuit to another it makes it much more difficult to in a timely fashion that locates these cases not like a section twenty two fifty five motion where the motion is brought in the same district in which the sentence issued it's very easy there to examine as a prior motion been filed and so yes this is something that could be wave a ball but it's certainly within the discretion of this court to rule against the petitioner on the abuse of the brit doctrine in order to preserve the integrity of those prior third intense circuit opinions finally i do want to make reference to the separation of powers argument this sort of comes up in two situations first off it seems very strange to me that invoking the separation of powers that petitioner would be arguing that federal authorities need to follow state court sentencing orders that simply turns the separation of powers indeed federalism on its head and secondly and this often comes up in the context of invoking judge pleasures concurrence and reynolds whatever separation of powers issue might arise in the context of new protonic all that could be used to do is to eliminate the program that obviously serves to no benefit of the petitioners so it's very difficult to see how he would have standing to raise that challenge in the first place and aside from the standing issue which is again itself jurisdictional it doesn't seem like there's any benefits to the petitioner by removing the one discretionary benefit that could provide relief to petitioners in his situation if there are no further questions of the courts are happy entered in the operation of federal law it has become clear that it is not possible for the census to be served concurrently that's been signed by mr ecclestone in by somebody named john walker who i guess was his lawyer yes why isn't that the end of the matter because that is not what first of all it's was resolving in ongoing state matter that had been going on since two thousand and three that at that time in fact it had been denied that after that time such a came down that there is nothing to stop him from asserting that the federal rights that are involved for full concurrency known proton from the time of arrest there's been nothing that impairs that and what we have also is the miscarriage of justice exception to any procedural spot obstacles where due to the all of the previous cases have all the pendant on a misreading of thirty five eighty five my point is you said we have to sort of rely on what the state judges intention was and i've just read you the most recent statement of what the state judge's intention was to which mr ecclestone it is lawyer agreed it was a compromise i believe a compromise or rammed down his throat that's what right that's going order he cannot go back to and say state please don't new mexico i should have only concurrent you should reduce it to nothing so that i get full credit he can't do that they got a benefit that ended the state litigation well but he got a benefit too which is why i asked you about traditional stop on which is not my other kinds of stop all because he is saying i can my federal concurrent way and he took that position in order to obtain a benefit from the state court and now he's saying well i got that benefit and now i'm going to take a different position and you have a new benefit additionally and that that seems quite problematic to me i am having trouble with the concept that because he does every minute that he is in state custody is the fact of consecutive he has to this is practically counteracted he's been he has to get out of state custody in order for his sense to start he does that he makes an agreement with the state he's not litigating any further with the state but it says nothing about what's going on in federal court and in federal court we find out that in fact the the reason he had to sign that and get the and get out and stop the bleeding at nine years it's because we've been misinterpreting the federal court is not the federal government in the third sentence has not taken that area of future sentences that they have to run consecutive that's that was the whole reasoning of everybody that leaves a space and that's why bond important don said you need a clear statement if the state if the federal government is trying to move in on the state's power they didn't there's no clear statement the court you construe the federal statutes to sa during her exchange with the government there you heard a judge graber read a little portion of what taylor i think it your view that that that's not good law absolutely the mere recommendation the it was vacated and i was appointed to represent him thank you thank you submitted thank you general
