Text: In October 2017, Galvan entered a plea of no contest to operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest, a Class IV felony, and driving during suspension, first offense, a Class III misdemeanor. In December, the district court for Hall County sentenced Galvan to 2 years’ imprisonment and 12 months’ post-release supervision on the operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest conviction and to 90 days’ imprisonment on the driving during suspension conviction. The court ordered the sentences to be served concurrently and awarded 76 days’ credit for time served. In January 2018, in a new case in Hall County, Galvan pled no contest to assault by a confined person, a Class IIIA felony. The court sentenced Galvan to 180 days’ imprisonment and 12 months’ post-release supervision, to be served consecutively to the sentences in the prior case. Although his sentences were ordered to be served consecutively, Galvan began serving the post-release supervision portion of his sentences in both cases on October 10, 2018. The State moved to revoke Galvan’s post-release supervision in both cases on December 6, alleging that Galvan had failed to report to his probation officer, abstain from the use of controlled substances, and follow an individualized treatment plan. The court held a hearing on the motions to revoke on April 16, 2019. Pursuant to an agreement with the State, - 516 - Nebraska Supreme Court Advance Sheets 305 Nebraska Reports STATE v. GALVAN Cite as 305 Neb. 513 Galvan admitted to the violations in both cases, and the court revoked his post-release supervision in both cases. The court revoked Galvan’s bond and remanded him into custody pending sentencing. At the sentencing hearing, on June 19, 2019, Galvan’s counsel stated that the maximum sentence available to the court upon revocation from post-release supervision would be a term of imprisonment lasting until October 10, plus 70 days due to the time that Galvan had absconded from supervision. The court imposed a sentence of 5 months’ imprisonment in each case and ordered the sentences to run consecutively. The court awarded no credit for the time that Galvan spent in custody between the date his post-release supervision was revoked and the date of sentencing. Galvan appealed. ASSIGNMENTS OF ERROR Galvan assigns that the district court erred in (1) imposing consecutive sentences and (2) failing to award credit for time served after revocation, prior to sentencing.
