Lake Denies Some Olis Motions And Orders Government Section 2255 Response

The sad ordeal of former Dynegy executive Jamie Olis is no longer news, but we learn via White Collar Crime Prof Blog that US District Judge Sim Lake on Tuesday denied three pending motions by or on behalf of Olis: Olis’ motion for release on bond pending appeal, Olis’ motion for discovery in connection with his §2255 motion to set aside the conviction, and Professor Robert Weisberg’s motion for leave to file an amicus brief in support of Olis’ motion to set aside the conviction. However, Lake did order the government to respond to Olis’ §2255 motion on or before April 4, 2008, and he set a May 5 deadline for Olis’ reply. Olis Motions Ruling
