Defendant Rowland is correct that the judgment in this case entered May 8, 2006, erroneously fails to reflect that the parties' and court's intent was that the judgment should specify that Defendant Rowland's federal sentence was ordered to and must run concurrently with his state term of incarceration in Superior Court of California, Case Number CD 165314.

The Court recommends that the Defendant's term of incarceration be served prior to service of his state term of incarceration in Case No. CD 165314.
