Text: Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 533.040(3) provides, in relevant part, that a sentence of probation shall run concurrently with any federal . . . prison . . . term for another offense to which the defendant. . . becomes subject during the period, unless the sentence of probation. . . is revoked. The revocation shall take place . . . within ninety . . . days after the grounds for revocation come to the attention of the Department of Corrections. . . . We granted discretionary review in this case to determine whether KRS 533.040(3) means that probation revocation must be completedor merely initiatedwithin that ninety-day window in order for a state court sentence to run consecutively to a federal sentence imposed upon a probationer during the term of the probationer's state court-imposed probation. Consistent with our earlier precedent, we hold that in these types of cases, the revocation must be completed within the ninety-day window for the imposition of consecutive sentencing.
