Many years ago, I spent a week in Montreal (the province) at an improve-your-skiing resort, on a package deal that included all the wonderful food they do up there. As soon as I got home I had to pack up and fly off to a five-day conference in New Orleans, with the company picking up the tab for all the wonderful food they do down there. At the end of that week I was back to home-cooked food, and it was a serious disappointment. (Clearing my own table and washing my own dishes was even worse.)Report

Inner City Press Livetweeting Michael Avenatti Sentencing

(8)

This thread is reporting what is happening at Michael Avenatti's sentencing live:

OK - Michael Avenatti's sentencing in the Nike case is beginning @SDNYLIVE. Avenatti present in suit and black COVID mask. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below. Song, with audio from exhibit at trial: https://t.co/nZB0qwMBAt

— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) July 8, 2021

Perhaps the most relevant tweets from the thread:

Judge Gardephe: There was ample evidence Mr. Avenatti had no genuine interest in performing an internal investigation. His objections are overruled. 2 levels are added for abuse of trust. Offense level is 31. No criminal history. Guideline is 108 to 135 months

— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) July 8, 2021

Judge Gardephe: He transferred to Penn and worked full time, then GWU law school. He worked full time and attended evening classes. He worked at King & Spalding. He went to O'Melveny and Myers. He started his own firm in 2006. The guidelines start at 108 months.

— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) July 8, 2021

Judge Gardephe: So I will not impose a fine. He must pay the $100 special assessment. The US wants restitution to Nike. The submissions are not adequate. The billing records are redacted. Under "Lagos," restitution here is limited to investigatory activities.

— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) July 8, 2021

Judge Gardephe: Mr Avenatti, I am sentencing you to 30 months imprisonment, and three years supervised release. Special assessment of $300 [$100 per count] Anything further?
Srebnick: What about designation? We ask surrender September 15, to BOP Sheridan Oregon

— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) July 8, 2021

AUSA: We do not ask remand to prison, due to California case.
Judge Gardephe: I recommend the Federal prison camp in Sheridan, Oregon on September 15 - if not designated, to the US Marshals here. You have the right to appeal, notice within 14 days.
