The client had been sentenced to 10 months imprisonment for a supervised release violation but had a pending state case and was in state custody.

Because the court did not indicate how the federal sentence would run in judgment, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) treated it as a consecutive sentence.

OUTCOME: Conviction Reversed and Vacated
In this direct appeal, Vinh Q. Vu (Defendant) appeals from the judgment upon his conviction and sentence on one count of passing a bad check in violation of Section 570.120.1(2), RSMo. REVERSED. Divi ... sion One Holds: Section 570.120.1(2) requires that a defendant receive actual notice in writing that his check has not been paid. Here, the only evidence supporting that element was the State’s mailing of a letter to Defendant and the fact that letter was never returned. Based only on those facts, any inference that Defendant received actual notice in writing depended on speculation. As a result, there was insufficient evidence for a reasonable factfinder to determine that Defendant received actual notice in writing as required by Section 570.120.1(2). Opinion by: Mary K. Hoff, J. Robert G. Dowd, Jr., P.J., and Roy L. Richter, J., Concur. Attorney for Appellant: Kevin L. Schriener Attorney for Respondent: Robert J. Bartholomew
