It’s a common thing, since sentences that are a year or less aren’t entitled to certain credits in some places (“good time” credit in the US federal system). Since this is a federal case, that is probably the reason. Defense counsel will sometimes even ask for the extra day, since this credit will reduce the actual time served. http://federaldefendersny.org/information-for-client-and-families/federal-sentencing.html http://federaldefendersny.org/information-for-client-and-fam...
