High profile 2d Circuit Crosby remand

Though I do not see the decision on-line, the papers are reporting here that the Second Circuit yesterday entered a Crosby remand so that District Court Judge Janet Bond Arterton can consider resentencing former Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim, who is serving nine years in prison for corruption.  According to the AP report:

Ganim’s attorneys would not say Wednesday exactly what sentence they will request, but have said in the past that Ganim’s sentence should be reduced from nine years to three. Prosecutors declined to comment, other than to say their request for a review was standard practice in the wake of [Booker]…. Prosecutors asked the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in February to send Ganim’s case back to Arterton.

UPDATE: Additional coverage of Ganim’s case can be found here.
