Before the Court is the defendant, Georgia Thompson’s ("Thompson"), motion

for Bail Pending Appeal. Having read the parties’ briefs and reviewed the record, the Court

rules as follows. Thompson’s motion is denied.

Thompson brought this motion pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143. The only applicable

standard in the statute for the Court’s consideration based on these facts was whether her appeal

raises a substantial question of law likely to result in a reversal of her conviction or a new trial.

(18 U.S.C. § 3143(b)(B)(i)(ii))

Thompson has failed in her effort to identify a substantial question of law that

would produce the result or results necessary to impose a stay on the execution of her sentence.

Thompson challenges only one of her two counts of conviction and in so doing relies upon Fifth

Circuit precedent which this Court considered in earlier rulings and rejected as contrary to the

standard in the Seventh Circuit.
