Breaking: Elizabeth Holmes’ surrender stayed by 9th Circuit Court of Appeals

April 26, 2023 | by

This just in. As expected, Elizabeth Holmes will not be surrendering to Federal prison tomorrow, 27 April. Her defense filed yesterday for an emergency stay in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The court granted it on 25 April, yesterday. Since she was free on bail at the time of the filing, this emergency stay keeps it in effect until her motion for continued bail pending appeal is ruled on.

The PDF of the two-page notice is here.

While the surrender will be stayed based on the court’s rules, if the court follows the similar circumstances of Sunny Balwani’s stay and appeal, Holmes will have perhaps a month more freedom on bail before a further extension of bail is rejected. The main 100+ page appeal based on prosecutorial misrepresentations and actions by Judge Edward Davila in the presentation of evidence, plus oversentencing. will be reviewed by the court [TTA 19 April], which may take about a year. Neither the extension of bail or the appeal are given much chance of success.

Now what happens? The Daily Mail revealed that she and Billy Evans are living in an oceanfront San Diego rental, with their two children William and newborn Invicta, born on 9 February in San Diego. The residence is supposedly priced at $9 million. They have departed the rental in Silicon Valley and moved to Mr. Evans’ sunnier home town where the family will remain. Evans and his parents are readying a $3 million townhouse. They will be caring for the two children while the inevitable long trip to Bryan, TX–if Bryan will be the Federal facility–happens.

As the US East Coast faces low temps (down to 12 degrees again tonight) and another dumping of snow Monday, a small sign of spring, like flash-frozen daffodils and crocuses (crocii?), is the annual application call for the Triple Tree iAwards for Connected Health to be presented at the Wireless-Life Sciences Association (WLSA) 9th Annual Convergence Summit 14-16 May at the Omni in San Diego, California.
