#ANJaxBreaking: Appeals judge just denied #CorrineBrown's appeal of Judge Corrigan's decision not to stay out on bond while she appeals her case. Bottom line: Brown must report to prison on Jan. 29, unless court approves the motion her lawyer filed today for a 30-day extension. pic.twitter.com/rFsyWmQcsU

Brown, 71, is set to begin her sentence on Jan. 29 and is asking for an additional 30 days. In May 2017, Brown was found guilty on 18 counts in a federal fraud trial. In Dec. 2017, she was sentenced to five years in prison. She lost her bid to stay free while she appeals her sentence.
Her former chief of staff, Ronnie Simmons, who pleaded guilty and testified against Brown, was sentenced to four years in prison. He has already reported to a Maryland prison to serve his sentence.
