Okla. Stat. tit. 22, § 22-982b: Abeyance of sentence pending execution of federal

sentence.

A. Upon motion of the district attorney of the county from

which a sentence was imposed, the court may hold execution of a

sentence of imprisonment in abeyance if the offender has a pending

sentence of incarceration to be served in the custody of the United

States Bureau of Prisons or successor federal agency.

B. Any offender whose sentence has been held in abeyance

pending execution of a federal sentence pursuant to subsection A of

this section shall be returned to the Department of Corrections to

complete execution of his or her sentence upon release from federal

custody, unless the remainder of the sentence of the offender has

been discharged, vacated, paroled, or commuted while the offender

was in federal custody.

C. In determining whether to hold the execution of a sentence

in abeyance pending execution of a federal sentence, the court shall

consider the safety of the public, personnel of the Department of

Corrections, personnel of law enforcement agencies, other inmates,

and the offender. The filing of a motion to hold the execution of a

sentence in abeyance by the district attorney shall create a

rebuttable presumption that it is in the public interest to hold the

sentence in abeyance and that the motion shall be granted.

D. The Department of Corrections shall be responsible for

transportation of the offender from federal custody to state custody

upon the release of the offender from federal custody.

E. An offender whose sentence has been held in abeyance pending

execution of a federal sentence shall not be released from the

custody of the Department of Corrections until and unless federal

authorities take custody of the offender. In no event shall an

order holding execution of a state sentence in abeyance pursuant to

this section result in the release of the offender from both state

and federal custody simultaneously.

F. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any

offender who has been sentenced to death and whose death sentence

remains valid.
