In his order, Judge Edward Davila of the Northern District of California said Holmes is not a danger to the community or a flight risk, but he questioned her appeal.

Even if Homes won her appeal, he said, it is unlikely that all of the counts on which she was found guilty would be overturned or that she would be given a new trial.

Holmes was given a prison sentence of more than 11 years in November of last year. A few months earlier, she had been found guilty of defrauding investors while running the failed blood testing company Theranos.

Theranos was once worth $9 billion, and it convinced top investors and retail partners that it could test for a wide range of conditions with just a few drops of blood.

The company started to fall apart after an investigation by the Wall Street Journal in 2015 found that Theranos had only done a few of the hundreds of tests it offered with its own technology, and the tests weren't very accurate.

At first, Holmes' trial was put off several times because of the coronavirus pandemic and then because she was pregnant. After she was sentenced in November, Holmes tried to get her prison time put off until after she had her second child.
