Description
This appeal is taken from an order of the district court dismissing the appellant's petition for the writ of mandamus. We
affirm. While the appellant, Chunn was already in the custody of the State of Alabama, he was convicted of post office burglary and
possession of stolen money orders, violations of 18 U.S.C.A. §Â§ 500 and 2115. On February 13, 1967 he was sentenced by the
United States District Court which tried him to imprisonment for ten years, which sentence was expressly made concurrent with
the Alabama sentence he was then serving. On a subsequent occasion while Chunn was in the temporary custody of federal authorities
on a writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum, he escaped. Still later, he was returned to federal custody by the State of California
following his apprehension, conviction and imprisonment for a violation of that State's criminal laws. Federal officials thereupon
delivered Chunn to Alabama. Following a period of incarceration under his state sentence in Alabama, he was paroled to federal
authorities on February 8, 1971.
