"…None of the motions raised an issue relevant or related to Weinstein’s sentencing, and as far as the Court can discern, their only purpose has been to delay the sentencing date and to create an argument for post-conviction relief that may be outside the scope of Weinstein’s waiver of appeal contained in his plea agreement.…"
Eliyahu Weinstein
By some estimates, all told Eliyahu Weinstein stole almost $1 billion. His guilty plea was to $50 million of those thefts.
Yesterday, the federal court wrote that:
"…Throughout the course of this case, Weinstein has been represented by eight separate attorneys. Weinstein is currently represented Eric Creizman, who first entered an appearance on August 14, 2013, and has filed several motions on Weinstein’s behalf, including motions: (1) to compel specific performance of the plea agreement [docket # 98]; (2) for dismissal of a subsequent criminal complaint alleging new crimes [docket # 98]; (3) for modification the conditions of Weinstein’s release [docket # 100]; (4) to withdraw Weinstein’s plea of guilty [docket # 123]; (5) for an extension of the deadline to respond to the Pre-Sentence Report (“PSR”) [docket # 130]; (6) for reconsideration of the Court’s Order denying an extension of time to respond to the PSR [docket # 134]; (7) to vacate Weinstein’s guilty plea [docket # 137]; and (8) for Mr. Creizman’s withdrawal as counsel [docket # 142]. Each of these motions was denied. None of the motions raised an issue relevant or related to Weinstein’s sentencing, and as far as the Court can discern, their only purpose has been to delay the sentencing date and to create an argument for post-conviction relief that may be outside the scope of Weinstein’s waiver of appeal contained in his plea agreement.…
Accordingly, the parties and the Court having agreed that sentencing will proceed as scheduled on February 19, 2014, and that no further continuances will be granted,
IT IS on this 28th day of January, 2014,
ORDERED, for the reasons stated on the record on December 9, 2013, that Defendant’s Motion for Reconsideration [docket # 134] is DENIED; and it is further
ORDERED, for the reasons stated on the record on December 30, 2013, that Defendant’s Motion to Withdraw Plea of Guilty [docket # 137] is DENIED; and it is further
ORDERED, for the foregoing reasons, that Defendant’s Motion to Withdrawal Counsel [docket # 142] is DENIED as moot."
