Syllabus

JAIL-TIME CREDIT ALLOCATION: When a defendant is sentenced to both mandatory and non-mandatory prison terms, as in this case, any mandatory prison term imposed for a firearm specification must be served first. R.C. 2929.14(C)(1); Adm.Code 5120-2-03.1(I). As such, the 398 days of jail-time credit would apply to the aggregate six-year mandatory consecutive prison terms imposed for the two firearm specifications in one of defendant's cases. The trial court did not err in denying defendant's motion seeking to allocate jail-time credit to the ten years of non-mandatory prison time concurrently imposed for the aggravated burglary counts in other cases. Judgment affirmed.
