Resolving a circuit split, Supreme Court holds that sentence imposed under 18 U.S.C. § 924(j) can run either concurrently or consecutively to another sentence

In Lora v. United States, Case No. 22-49 (June 16, 2023), the United States Supreme Court resolved a circuit split and held that 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)’s bar on concurrent sentences does not extend to a sentence imposed under a different subsection, 18 U.S.C. § 924(j). A § 924(j) sentence therefore can run either concurrently with or consecutively to another sentence.
