Does a sentence for a drug dealer who has pleaded guilty to a section 5861(d) charge in a separate drug case have to run consecutively?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. LaFromboise, 105 F.3d 512 (9th Cir. 1997):
LaFromboise next argues the district court violated the double jeopardy clause by ordering his sentence for the section 5861(d) offense, imposed in the present case, to run consecutively with his sentence for the section 924(c)(1) offense, imposed in the separate drug case. We review de novo the legality of a sentence. United States v. Stafford, 831 F.2d 1479, 1480 (9th Cir.1987). The consecutive sentence does not violate the double jeopardy clause.
