Can a sentence under section 924(c) of the Criminal Code run concurrently with another sentence under the same section?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Medina, 181 F.3d 1078 (9th Cir. 1998):
Medina argues that section 924(c) only prohibits sentences under that section to run concurrently with non-section 924(c) sentences. We rejected this argument in United States v. Fontanilla, 849 F.2d 1257, 1258 (9th Cir. 1988), where we stated, "Nothing in the statute, or its legislative history, indicates one section 924 sentence can be made to run concurrently with another section 924 sentence."
