Thomas O. Rice, Asst. U.S. Atty., Spokane, Wash., for plaintiff-appellee.

Before SCHROEDER, FLETCHER and FARRIS, Circuit Judges.


FARRIS, Circuit Judge:

Joseph Dean Clayton appeals his federal sentence for making false statements in the acquisition of a firearm and for firearm possession by a felon in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(a)(6) and 922(g). Clayton contends that the district court erred in directing that his federal sentence be served consecutively with a state sentence that had not yet been imposed. We reverse and remand.
