Brown v. Parker, No. 14-7023 (10th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff-appellant David Brown was imprisoned on two sentences: one was in Tulsa County and the second one was in Muskogee County. Both sentences were two years, and the Muskogee County sentence was to run concurrently with the Tulsa County sentence. Brown thought the second sentence should have ended when the first one did. When Brown was eventually released from prison, he sued under 42 U.S.C. 1983, alleging that authorities refused to release him after his Muskogee sentence had ended. The district court granted summary judgment to the Defendants, concluding that Brown had not been held beyond the expiration of the Muskogee sentence. That conclusion was correct, and the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed.
