Bintzler v. Gonzales, No. 06-2789, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT, June 21, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Appellate court failed to see how the inmate's federal sentence could be considered to have commenced in 1994 for purposes of 18 U.S.C.S. § 3585(a); ultimately, however, the time of commencement made no difference because, once it learned of the error, the BOP credited all his time in state custody against his federal sentence.
