107 F3d 18 United States v. A Horn 107 F.3d 18
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,v.Kevin A. HORN, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 95-30155.
Argued and Submitted Jan. 10,1997.Decided Feb. 3, 1997.
Horn entered a plea of guilty to three counts of bank fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1344. At the time of sentencing, Horn was serving a three-year state sentence for criminal possession of a forged instrument. The district court sentenced him to 14 months, to be served consecutively to his undischarged state sentence.
Horn argues that his sentence should run concurrently to his state sentence. The district court relied on U.S.S.G. § 5G1.3(c), p.s., to impose a consecutive sentence. Horn contends that the district court erred in choosing not to apply U.S.S.G. § 4B1.3, and that if it had, U.S.S.G. § 5G1.3(b) would have required his sentence to run concurrently to his undischarged prison term.
Section 5G1.3(b) of the Guidelines mandates a concurrent sentence when "the undischarged term of imprisonment resulted from offense(s) that have been fully taken into account in the determination of the offense level for the instant offense." U.S.S.G. § 5G1.3(b) (version in force at time of Horn's sentencing in May of 1995, as amended effective November 1, 1992; see U.S.S.G.App.C, am. 465).
On appeal, the government acknowledges that a correct application of the Guidelines would have required the court to impose a concurrent sentence, and that the court could only diverge from this Guideline recommendation by following the usual procedures for departing from the Guidelines. The government concedes that application of the criminal-livelihood enhancement found in U.S.S.G. § 4B1.31 would have triggered the application of § 5G1.3(b), s
