Olis loses appeal of denial of bail pending resentencing

Adding another minor chapter in the sad saga of the sentencing dynamics surrounding Jamie Olis, this evening the Fifth Circuit rejected Olis’s appeal of his denial of bail pending resentencing.  In US v. Olis, No. 06-20103 (5th Cir. May 22, 2006) (available here), the Fifth Circuit ultimately concludes that “Olis fails to overcome the presumption against release pending resentencing.”
