The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected an effort by convicted Theranos executive Ramesh 'Sunny' Balwani to delay serving his prison term until his appeal is decided.
Following the trial, U.S. District Judge Edward Davila sentenced Balwani to a prison term of 12 years and nine months.
That term was to start on March 16, but an emergency motion by Balwani's lawyers to the Ninth Circuit automatically suspended his reporting date. Later on Thursday evening, Balwani's lawyers, stating that their client needs time to get his"affairs in order," filed a motion with Davila asking the court to set a new reporting date of April 20.
Balwani's co-conspirator and former lover, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, has filed her own motion to delay the start of her prison term, currently set to begin on April 27. Should the judge deny the motion, Holmes, too, can seek an emergency order from the 9th Circuit that would, in turn, delay her surrender date while the higher court decides if bail is appropriate. © 2023 CBS Broadcasting Inc.
