Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

someone conviction in state case in 8/2017 and sent to state facility, but recent federal case filed. On February 2, 2018 marks 1 year of being detained. Now, while going to state court case the federal case was filed in May, 2017 and at one point state case was going to be on hold to start federal case. Then last day in court the lawyer stated the federal was dropped, but it was not. How does this work ? And are there any legal tactics available?

"How it works" and what "tactics" are available are questions for the defendant to raise with his attorney as part of the full disclosure and discussion of all the charges, facts and evidence in the case required before the attorney can render a legal opinion on the case to his client. The attorneys on this site can only provide general guidance about how to proceed, not give specific legal advice. If serious about retaining experienced criminal defense counsel to represent you or yours, please contact me.
