United States v. Vilar, No. 10-521 (2d Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseDefendant and co-defendant were convicted of multiple fraud-related felonies. Defendant timely appealed his criminal conviction and moved to withdraw his direct criminal appeal with leave to reinstate it after he had finished pursuing an application for a writ of habeas corpus. In the alternative, defendant moved for a six month extension to file his appellate brief. The court held that the interests of judicial economy and fairness disfavored staying defendant's direct appeal. The court held, however, that staying the direct appeal by six months would not seriously prejudice the government or the co-defendant. Therefore, the court denied the defendant's motion to withdraw his direct appeal and granted defendant's request for the six month extension.
