United States Eighth Circuit

A sentence for receipt of one or more firearms while under indictment is affirmed over claims that: 1) the district court failed to adequately consider the 18 U.S.C. section 3553(a) factors; and 2) the district court failed to recognize its authority to order defendant's sentence to commence immediately upon sentencing and to run concurrent with subsequently imposed state sentences.
