Description
In 1977, at a time when he was serving a sentence for bank robbery in a Federal corrections facility, plaintiff Lemuel Cross
was convicted of armed robbery by a Michigan court. On April 8, 1977, he was sentenced to a term of 6 to 20 years for the
Michigan conviction. In imposing sentence, the Judge stated: "I'm writing the State prison authorities and I will check, counsel, possibly we'll have to write the Federal authorities.
We'll check into that. I'll write to the State prison authorities that it is the intention of this Court that this sentence
run concurrent with the Federal sentence; he's to be given credit for 290 days, which will be -- make this sentence in effect,
retroactive to the date of the Federal sentence. It's this Court's desire that the sentence be completely concurrent and when
he is done with the Federal sentence, he's not -- no necessity for him to return to the State of Michigan. He could be placed
on Federal probation, court probation, they wouldn't have to place him on probation."
