Manning v. Superintendent, Massachusetts Correctional Institution
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

1Opinion of the CourtQuirico, J.
This case presents the question whether a prisoner is entitled to credit on one criminal sentence for time served under another criminal sentence that was later vacated.
The plaintiff sought a declaratory judgment regarding the computation of time under the prison sentence he is currently serving in the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Norfolk. The parties submitted a statement of agreed facts which a judge of the Superior Court adopted as his findings of fact. We summarize these facts as supplemented by the record that was before us in Commonwealth v. Manning, 367 Mass. 605 (1975).
