U.S. District Judge Josephine Staton's ruling mandates Tom Girardi's temporary confinement in a federal facility for medical evaluation before final sentencing, amid his dementia claims.
Judge Staton acknowledged her readiness to proceed with sentencing but noted the complexity surrounding Girardi's transfer to an appropriate medical facility for assessment.
Federal Public Defender Samuel Cross argued for Girardi's evaluation to occur in his nursing home, highlighting the special needs and medical considerations tied to his condition.
The decision requires Girardi to report to U.S. Marshals on Jan. 7 for a 30-day observation period, delaying sentencing considerations by the court.
