Yes, however this is complicated to accomplish. It is easy to make a mistake that has the practical effect of causing state and federal sentences to be served consecutively, even if they were imposed concurrently. Whether and how to ask for federal time depends on who has custody of the defendant and the lengths of the sentences.
