ORDER REFERRING CASE FOR

RELATED CASE DETERMINATION

Petitioner, a federal prisoner currently incarcerated at the

Federal Correctional Institution in Terminal Island, California,

filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus. He has paid

the filing fee. 

The underlying procedural history gleaned from the petition

appears to be as follows: 

On May 6, 2003, Petitioner was arrested by the Bureau of

Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Federal Bureau of

Investigation. He was booked into the Santa Clara County Jail

under a federal hold. 

On July 31, 2003, he posted bail on the federal hold. On that

same day, he was re-booked into the custody of the State of

California and placed in the Monterey County Jail on state charges

related to the federal hold. 

On January 26, 2004, Petitioner's bail was ordered exonerated,

and he was taken back into custody by federal authorities and rebooked in the Santa Clara County Jail. 

According to the docket sheet in Petitioner's federal criminal

case, United States v. Esteban, Case No. CR 03-20033-01 JW,

Petitioner plead guilty on February 9, 2004 before the Honorable

James Ware of this Court to federal drug charges and to a charge of

being a felon in possession of a firearm. On August 28, 2004, he

was sentenced to 121 months in federal prison followed by five

years of supervised release. 

On September 28, 2004, Petitioner was sentenced to four years

in state prison on his related state charges. He was transported

to a state prison facility, where he served his state sentence

until May 16, 2006.

Petitioner is currently serving his federal sentence. He

challenges the execution of his federal sentence, alleging that he

should have been entitled to serve his state and federal sentences

concurrently in federal custody. 

"Whenever a Judge believes that a case pending before that

Judge is related to another case, the Judge may refer the case to

the Judge assigned to the earliest filed case with a request that

the Judge assigned to the earliest filed case consider whether the

cases are related." N.D. Cal. Local Rule 3-12(c). 

Accordingly, the undersigned refers the case to Judge Ware

with a request that he consider whether this case is related to

United States v. Esteban, Case No. CR 03-20033-01 JW.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
