United States v. Maurice Poindexter

PER CURIAM. After a bench trial, Maurice Poindexter was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Poindexter requested that his federal sentence be ordered to run concurrently with his undischarged state probation-revocation sentence. Rejecting that request, the district court 1 imposed a 120-month prison term to run consecutively to his state sentence, plus 3 years supervised release. Poindexter appeals. Upon de novo review, see United States v. Ashley, 342 F.3d 850, 852 (8th Cir.2003), we affirm the sentence imposed by the district court, see United States v. Smith, 282 F.3d 1045, 1047-48 (8th Cir.2002) (U.S.S.G. § 5G1.3, comment.(n.6) is binding on federal sentencing courts and mandates that sentence imposed on defendant for crime committed during probation must run consecutively to any resulting sentence for probation revocation).
