The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Allen, 76 F.3d 388 (9th Cir. 1996):
Id. at 1404-05 (citations omitted); see also United States v. Wickham, 618 F.2d 1307, 1311 (9th Cir.1979). That language fits him perfectly. He was imprisoned on another offense. His own conduct caused the delay, and his request for an earlier hearing does not change that fact.
