calculation of five separate prison sentences. We affirm.

      The case involves the following five sentences:


              Conviction        Case Number Sentence
              S.D. Florida      84-524-CR-  25 years
              (1984)            KEHOE
              D. Idaho          CR-82-3006  Two 20-
              (1985)                        year terms
              W.D. Arkansas     86-cr-10004 15 years
              (1986)
              M.D. North        97-cr-10006      20 years
              Carolina
              (1986)
              W.D. Missouri     97-cr-10005      15 years
              (1991)

Rogge challenges the BOP’s determination that his 15-year sentence from his

Missouri conviction will run consecutively to his four other sentences because that

crime was committed after the effective date of the Sentencing Reform Act

(“SRA”) on November 1, 1987.

      The BOP is required by statute to aggregate multiple sentences into a single

sentence for computation purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 3584(c) (stating that “[m]ultiple

terms of imprisonment ordered to run consecutively or concurrently shall be

treated for administrative purposes as a single, aggregate term of imprisonment”).

However, the BOP Program Statement 5880.28 states “[i]f a multi-count

indictment in a single judgment and commitment contains an offense(s) that was

completed before November 1, 1987, and an offense(s) that was completed on or


                                         2
after November 1, 1987, then those pre and post SRA counts shall be treated

separately (not aggregated) and the sentences shall be computed in accordance

with the sentencing laws in effect at the time of the completion of those offenses.”

Sentence Computation Manual (CCCA of 1984), Page 1-34 (1997). Thus, the BOP

formulated two aggregate sentences, one for Rogge’s pre-SRA crimes and one for

his post-SRA crimes.

      Rogge argues that this calculation was not honoring the sentencing court’s

determination of a concurrent sentence for the Arkansas, North Carolina, and

Missouri crimes. However, the sentencing court’s 1997 order did not take into

account the difficulty of calculating these sentences together when only one of

them was post-SRA. The court stated: “Case Nos. 1:86CR10004-001 and

1:97CR10005 shall run concurrent to 1:97CR10006-001. The combined terms of

imprisonment shall run consecutively with the undischarged terms of

imprisonment entered in the judgments from the Southern District of Florida,

Docket No. 84-524-CR-KEHOE, and from the District of Idaho, Docket No. CR-

82-30006.” The sentencing court went on to clarify in its 2003 order that: “the 180

month sentence in case number 97-10005 is not to run consecutively to the

sentences in cases 86-10004 and 97-10005, but is to run concurrently with those

sentences. It is further clarified that the sentences imposed by this court are to run

consecutively with the undischarged terms of imprisonment entered from the


                                           3
Southern District of Florida, Docket No. 84-524-CR-KEHOE, and from the

District of Idaho, Docket No. CR-82-30006.” Thus, the sentencing court intended

that the Arkansas, North Carolina, and Missouri terms should run concurrently to

each other and that those terms should run consecutively to the Florida and Idaho

terms.

         However, the Missouri sentence may not be aggregated with the Florida and

Idaho sentences because it is post-SRA. By aggregating the Arkansas and North

Carolina terms with the Florida and Idaho terms, as the BOP regulations require,

and then running the Missouri sentence consecutive to the Florida and Idaho terms,

the BOP carried out the intent of the sentencing court. See Barber v. Thomas, 560

U.S. 474, 488 (2010) (affirming the BOP’s calculation of good time credit because

“the BOP’s calculation system applies th[e] statute as its language is most naturally

read”). Accordingly, the district court properly upheld the BOP’s calculation as

“reasonably address[ing] legislatively-driven inconsistency in the administration of

federal criminal sentences.”

         AFFIRMED.
