Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

that are foreclosed by United States v. Brown, 920 F.2d 1212, 1216-17 (5th Cir.
1991), abrogated on other grounds by United States v. Candia, 454 F.3d 468,
472-73 (5th Cir. 2006), which held that a district court has the discretion to order
a federal sentence to run consecutively to a yet-to-be-imposed state sentence
under 18 U.S.C. § 3584. See Setser v. United States, ___ S. Ct. ___, No. 10-7387,
2012 WL 1019970, at **2-8 (Mar. 28, 2012). The Government’s motion for

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
