Text: 7 Appellant Clifton Crawford, a prisoner incarcerated in Prince William County, Virginia, appeals dismissal of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the District Court. He seeks credit against his District of Columbia sentence for time served in the District of Columbia alleging that (1) he was held from July 8, 1976 to September 23, 1977 pursuant to a writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum that had expired; 1 and (2) because service of his sentence had begun on March 3, 1977, it could not be interrupted by transfer back to Virginia. 8 Appellant is actually seeking double credit; that is, credit against both his District of Columbia and Virginia sentences. 9 We find it unnecessary to decide appellant's allegation that his sentence could not be interrupted as we hold that the authority of the writ did not expire and therefore appellant's District of Columbia sentence did not begin to run.
