Description
While petitioner was on parole the Arizona Attorney General issued opinion No. 77-214 on November 15, 1977 which stated that under A.R.S. § 31-411(A) consecutive sentences should be considered as separate and distinct sentences for parole purposes. The opinion relied on Mileham v. Arizona Board of Pardons and Paroles, 110 Ariz. 470, 520 P.2d 840 (1974) and concluded that a prisoner would not be eligible to apply for parole until he had completely served all of his first sentences and the minimum time required under the last of the consecutive sentences. Although under this opinion petitioner was paroled prematurely, the state did not seek his rearrest and he continued on parole.
