Sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm is reversed where the district court erred by not determining the status of defendant’s 2004 state sentence, as defendant and the government agreed to a recommendation that defendant would receive concurrent time with any state sentence he was serving. The case is remanded so that the court may supplement the record to determine the status of defendant’s 2004 sentence and whether the federal sentence should be ordered to run concurrent with it, as well as with his sentences from 2001.
