4th Circuit is through with Jefferson, for now [Dollar Bill]

The BLT (Blog of Legal Times) reports:

This morning, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit denied Jefferson's request for a hearing en banc to consider his interlocutory appeal. Last month, a three-judge panel of the 4th Circuit affirmed a decision by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia not to dismiss the pending corruption indictment against Jefferson.

The 4th Circuit's panel opinion (which the en banc court has let stand) can be found here. Posted by MBC at December 30, 2008 06:08 PM
