Question Presented (from Petition)
The federal Sentencing Guidelines treat discharged and
undischarged sentences based on conduct relevant to a case
before the court for sentencing differently. The Guidelines require
the court to make the sentence concurrent to an undischarged
sentence based on relevant conduct, but for discharged sentences
only say that the court may adjust the sentence. Did the lower
courts' refusal to adjust Petitioner's sentence for two discharged
sentences violate Petitioner's constitutional rights to equal
protection and due process of law?
