Does the Double Jeopardy Clause apply to the cumulative cumulative sentence imposed in a single trial?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S.A v. Rosas, D.C. No. 4:02-cr-01016-JMR-crp, D.C. No. 4:08-cr-00123-JMR-crp, No. 09-10011, No. 09-10013 (9th Cir. 2010):

tutional. "With respect to cumulative sentences imposed in a single trial, the Double Jeopardy Clause does no more than prevent the sentencing court from prescribing greater punishment than the legislature intended." Missouri v. Hunter, 459 U.S. 359, 366 (1983). Here the legislature established a maximum sentence of ten years and Rosas's sentence falls far short of that mark, therefore Rosas's constitutional claim must fail.
