5G1.3(b) of the Sentencing Guidelines by imposing a consecutive sentence
obviated the requirement that Hahn be granted credit for time spent in state custody
under section 5G1.3(b)(1). Moreover, the district court’s explanation for its

United States, 551 U.S. 338, 356-59 (2007); United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984,
991-92, 995 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
Hahn’s motion to expedite appellate review is denied as moot.
AFFIRMED.
