Michael Avenatti's 14-Year Sentence Vacated by Appeals Court

A federal appeals court has ordered a resentencing for Michael Avenatti, citing errors in calculating his original prison term.

The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the trial judge improperly applied a perjury enhancement in Avenatti's sentence.
Avenatti's legal team argued that the original sentence did not adequately consider the value of his legal services and payments to victims.
The court's decision could potentially shorten Avenatti's total prison time, which includes sentences for other convictions.
Avenatti is currently serving time for defrauding clients, stealing book proceeds from Stormy Daniels, and attempting to extort Nike.
The resentencing will be conducted by U.S. District Judge James Selna in Santa Ana, California.
