Defendant appeals from an order of the district court denying 

his petition for credit to his sentence. On appeal, defendant 

argues the district court erred in refusing to instruct the 

Attorney General to credit his sentence with time he spent in 

custody prior to the imposition of sentence in Oklahoma. 

On May 3, 1985, defendant was sentenced to fourteen years' 

imprisonment by a federal court in Virginia . He was taken to 

Oklahoma in order to be tried for a second federal offense. He 

spent six months and nineteen days in the Tulsa County jail prior 

to his second conviction . After conviction of the second offense, 

he was sentenced to eighteen years' imprisonment with the sentence 

to run concurrently with the first sentence. 

The district court refused to allow defendant credit to the 

Oklahoma sentence for the six months and nineteen days he spent in 

custody awaiting trial because at that time he was in custody 

serving his first sentence. See Shelvy v. Whitfield, 718 F.2d 441 

(D.C. Cir. 1983). We conclude the district court correctly denied 

credit to the Oklahoma sentence for the six months and nineteen 

days. 

The judgment of the United States District Court for the 

Northern District of Oklahoma is AFFIRMED. Defendant's request to 

supplement the record is granted. 

forthwith . 

The mandate shall issue
