Decided January 29, 1997.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

On behalf of the defendant-appellant, the cause was submitted on the briefs of Keith A. Findley, assistant state public defender.

On behalf of the plaintiff-respondent, the cause was submitted on the brief of James E. Doyle, attorney general, and Michael R. Klos, assistant attorney general.

Before Snyder, P.J., Nettesheim and Anderson, JJ.


NETTESHEIM, J.

The principal issue on appeal is whether a felony sentence imposed against the appellant, Joseph C. Coles, must be deemed a concurrent sentence as a matter of law. Coles contends that the challenged sentence must be concurrent because the trial court did not expressly state that the sentence was consecutive to a "time served" misdemeanor sentence which the trial court had imposed moments earlier at the same sentencing hearing.
