Heading: Hamilton's Contentions

Text: In these appeals, Hamilton claims that: i) the Department of Correction miscalculated the time remaining on his sentences, thereby imposing a longer period of incarceration than the Superior Court authorized; and ii) the Superior Court abused its discretion by refusing to provide a transcript of his October 13, 1988 sentencing hearing for this appeal. Hamilton contends that the Superior Court's September 2, 1988 sentencing order shows that his sentences in IN76-08-0906, IN76-08-0907, IN86-04-1312 and IN86-04-1313 should all be calculated to run concurrently, beginning on January 24, 1977. He also contends that, because he has already served his sentences in IN75-08-0180, IN75-08-0181 and IN75-12-0279, the Department of Correction has incorrectly included these sentences in its calculation of the time remaining on his sentences.
