Former Municipal Credit Union Board Chair and ex-state judge Sylvia Ash is appealing her obstruction of justice conviction and 15-month federal prison sentence, according to documents filed last week with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan.
Ash, 64, was sentenced in April after a jury found her guilty of one felony count of obstruction of justice, one felony count of conspiracy to obstruct justice and one felony count of making false statements to federal officers. She was acquitted on a second felony count of obstruction of justice. Ash also was ordered to pay a $80,000 fine, and serve two years of supervised release, including a special condition of 20 hours of community service per week following her prison term. A decision is pending on whether the $4.3 billion MCU in New York is entitled to restitution for costs it incurred because of Ash's crimes.
