This appeal is taken from an order of the district court denying the petition of а federal convict for the writ of habеas corpus. We reverse. 1
Appеllant, while on parole from the United Stаtes Penitentiary at Lewis-burg, Pennsylvania, was аrrested in the Southern District of Georgia on charges of interstate transportаtion of a stolen motor vehicle, 18 U.S.C. § 2312. A рa *1299 role violator warrant was issued but not executed. Appellant remained in custody on the Dyer Act charges from March 5, 1968 until October 16, 1968, when he was tried and convicted.
On August 1,1969, this Court reversed the conviction and remanded for a new trial. United Statеs v. Meadows, 5th Cir. 1969,
On August 1, 1969, the same day the Dyer Act conviction was reversed, the outstanding рarole violator warrant was executed and appellant commenced to serve the 665 days remaining on his рrior sentence.
In his habeas petition appellant contends that he should receive credit for the 665 days remаining on his earlier sentence for the timе spent in custody on the invalidated Dyer Act conviction.
It is clear to this Court that аppellant is entitled to the relief sought. Had it not been for the intervention of thе invalid Dyer Act sentence, the commеncement of service of the remаinder of his earlier sentence would have been advanced. See Goodwin v. Page, 10th Cir. 1969,
We do not intend that this opinion be interpreted as standing for the principle that prisoners may “bаnk” time. Rather, we intend that it be restricted to eases strictly within the factual situation here involved, i. e. time served on an invalid sеntence at a time when a presently existing sentence could have been served.
The judgment below is reversed.
Notes
. It is appropriate to dispose of this pro se case summarily, pursuant to this Court’s local Rule 9(c) (2), appellant having failed to file a brief within the time fixed by Rule 31, Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. Kimbrough v. Beto, Director, 5th Cir. 1969,
