Text: 3 In a nine-count indictment filed in October 1996, the government charged Mr. Glaze with various drug and weapons violations. In January 1997, Mr. Glaze pled guilty to two offenses: carrying a firearm in relation to a drug trafficking felony (a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)) and distribution of a controlled substance (a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1)). Prior to the filing of the October 1996 indictment, Mr. Glaze had been serving an undischarged state sentence. The state sentence was imposed in June 1995 for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. See Rec. vol. I, doc. 31 at 3 (Defendant's Sentencing Memorandum filed Feb. 25, 1997). Additionally, in November 1995, Mr. Glaze was charged in state court with several offenses related to the offenses charged in the instant case. When the government filed the indictment in this case, the November 1995 state charges were dismissed. 4 At sentencing, Mr. Glaze requested the district court to order the sentence for the controlled substance violation to run concurrently with the undischarged state sentence. See id. at 3-4. He also requested the court to award him credit for time served in Oklahoma County jail in maximum security awaiting disposition of these charges, which were originally lodged as state charges and then dropped in lieu of federal prosecution. Id. at 4. 5 The district court granted the first request but denied the second. The court imposed a sentence of seventy-seven months for the § 841(a)(1) violation and provided that that sentence shall be served concurrently with any other undischarged sentence to which Mr. Glaze is subject. Rec. vol. II at 7 (Tr. of Feb. 26, 1997 sentencing hearing). As to Mr. Glaze's request for credit for time served, the court said that it would leave it to the Bureau [of Prisons] to make the calculation of credit for incarceration before today's date in their normal administrative calculations. Id. at 9. For the § 924(c)(1) violation, the court imposed a sixty month sentence and provided that that sentence would run consecutively to any other sentence to which Mr. Glaze was subject. See id. at 7-8. The court also imposed a term of supervised release on each sentence. See id. at 8.
