Text: Knight was originally convicted of assault by a confined person, a Class IIIA felony, and initially sentenced to a 1-year term of imprisonment followed by 18 months of post-release supervision. Knight completed his prison term and was then released on his post-release supervision. Ten months into Knight’s post-release supervision, the State filed a motion to revoke it. It alleged that Knight violated particular conditions of his post-release supervision. At a hearing, Knight voluntarily and knowingly admitted to the State’s allegations. The district court accepted Knight’s admissions and found that he violated those conditions of his post-release supervision. The court ordered that Knight be resentenced. Following a sentencing hearing, the court issued a written sentencing order, revoking Knight’s post-release supervision and sentencing him to a term of incarceration of 9 months in the “Buffalo County Jail.” The court gave Knight a 27-day credit for time already served, but found that “[he did] not qualify for good time credit.” On the record at the sentencing hearing, the court explained its reasoning. The court stated: “So with the credit that I’ve given you and because it’s post-release supervision, you don’t qualify for good time credit, you will serve 243 days in jail, which just so happens to take you about to the end of your post-release supervision . . . .” Knight filed a timely appeal to the Nebraska Court of Appeals. We moved his appeal to our docket. 1 Later, in response to our order to show cause, Knight established, and the State did not dispute, that his county jail sentence was interrupted by another sentence by a different court and remained partially unserved pending completion of the other sentence. 1 See Neb.
