United States v. John Lee Chappel

Federal inmate John Lee Chappel, confined in a Federal Correctional Institution in Illinois and serving a 121 month sentence for drug violations imposed by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, appeals from that court’s 1 judgment denying his “Motion to Clarify the Judgment Order,” in which he sought an order addressing his right to pretrial credit against his federal sentence. On appeal, Chappel renews his argument that he should receive pretrial credit for time he spent in custody on an unrelated state charge.

We conclude that the district court did not err…
