Description
Rodney S. McCombs was convicted, based upon his plea of no contest, of two counts of misconduct involving a controlled substance in the third degree, a class B felony. AS 11.71.030(a)(1). McCombs had formerly been convicted of a felony which qualified as a prior felony conviction under AS 12.55.145. He was therefore subject to sentencing as a second felony offender. A second felony offender convicted of a class B felony is subject to a presumptive sentence of four years. AS 12.55.125(d). Superior Court Judge Peter A. Michalski imposed a composite sentence of eight years with four years suspended on the two counts. Judge Michalski ordered this sentence to be consecutive to a federal sentence of eight years imprisonment which McCombs is serving for a separate but contemporaneous cocaine offense. Thus, McCombs sentences on both his state and federal charges total sixteen years with four years suspended. McCombs appeals, arguing that his sentence is excessive. We conclude that McCombs sentence should not have exceeded a total of eight years imprisonment on both his federal and state offenses. Accordingly, we reverse.
