Elizabeth Holmes' Bid to Delay Prison Sentence Denied

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit has denied Elizabeth Holmes' motion to stay out of prison while she appeals her conviction for wire fraud. The court ruled that Holmes had not raised a "substantial question" regarding the conduct of her trial or shown that any trial errors were likely to result in reversal or a sentence shorter than the 11-year, three-month prison term handed down by U.S. District Judge Edward Davila. Holmes's appeal will continue on its original schedule and will likely take several months or a year to be resolved.
