Multiple terms of imprisonment imposed at different times run consecutively unless the court orders that the terms are to run concurrently. 18 U.S.C. § 3584(a). district court s judgment did sentence to concurrently run not with order his Because the Fuller s state federal sentence, we conclude that the Bureau of Prisons properly calculated Fuller s federal sentence sentence.
