在美国最高法院一系列终止其当前任期的备受瞩目的裁决中，隐藏了Roe诉Wade并缩减了联邦对温室气体排放的监管，这是明年案件的一个不太闻名的决定，该案件可能会改变被定罪的纽约承包商的命运，该纽约承包商因竞标而服刑。
大法官同意6月29日，听取案件，挑战了2018年联邦竞标罪名背后的法律理论，他是一家曾经备受瞩目的布法罗建筑公司的前首席执行官路易斯·P·西米尼尔（Louis P.指导国家合同。“布法罗数十亿”发展计划涉及州官员和行业政治捐助者。
The high court will weigh prosecutors use of the "right to control" theory in the defendants' wire fraud indictments, under which they were found guilty of fraud for deliberately withholding important financial information from business customers, even without clear evidence that they benefited from doing so.

Ciminelli的律师以及被定罪和监禁的前纽约州立大学理工学院首席执行官Alain Kaloyeros和Syracuse开发人员Steven Aiello和Joseph Gerardi可以向联邦地方法院陪审团或纽约市的美国上诉法院解释该理论。另一位被告约瑟夫·佩尔科科（Joseph Percoco）是当时的纽约州州长安德鲁·库莫（Andrew M. Cuomo）的前助手，被定罪，根据“诚实服务”法规，检察官说，该法案是根据欺骗公职人员提供的服务权的人申请的。
根据法院文件和新闻报道，律师希望现任最高法院能够同意其主张并扭转定罪。
同时，鉴于最高法院决定审查此案，Ciminelli，Kaloyeros，Aiello和Gerardi的律师赢得了他们向美国地方法院法官Valerie Caproni释放监护权的要求7月1日订单她签了。
An NBC News local TV station affiliate confirmed that the former contractor CEO, 66, left a federal prison near Tucson on July 2, where he had been serving a 28-month sentence since February, set for release in January 2024.
Kaloyeros was sentenced to a 3-1/2 year sentence, Aiello to three years and Gerardi to 2.5 years. It is not clear when they began serving. Percoco, who was sentenced to six years, now is in a halfway house, according toThe Gothamist。The executives also faced fines, and检察官追求努力从LPCiminelli和Syracuse房地产公司Cor Development筹集了高达4000万美元的利润。
调整RFP
The U.S. Attorney in New York City charged that the defendants rigged selections under Cuomo’s “Buffalo Billions” upstate New York economic development push by tailoring RFPs to include factors that favored LP Ciminelli in Buffalo and COR Development in Syracuse.
优势是“对其他人不为人知的”，包括非营利性公司的舒勒堡管理公司由国家建立评估投标。曼哈顿联邦法院陪审团认为，通过操纵RFP，被告“剥夺了舒勒堡的潜在有价值的经济信息，这本来是由真正公平和竞争的RFP程序所造成的。”
陪审团判决认可了“电报欺诈理论”，该理论允许被定罪，如果被告证明被告扣留了受害者的宝贵信息，在这种情况下为舒勒堡，可能会影响经济决定。
Evidence introduced at trial showed that wIthout the fraud Fort Schuyler would have considered more, and perhaps stronger contract bidders in response to the RFPs. One company executive testified that his firm decided not to bid on one contract because the RFP’s vagueness left him with the impression that the project was being “steered” toward a local competitor.
并非所有美国上诉法院都支持权利控制作为欺诈案件的基础，被告向最高法院辩称，布法罗数十亿案的案件“提出了理想的工具”来解决差异。一名律师代表一名被定罪的高管说，最高的律师说，最高案Court’s decision "to review these questions necessarily establishes that they are substantial questions, which if resolved favorably to the defendants will result in reversal of their convictions."
两位在该领域经验的律师告诉ENR，法院已同意审理此案，使Ciminelli和其他高管将被免除。新利luck首席律师迈克尔·德里本（Michael Dreeben）告诉《泰士》奥尔巴尼时报 - 联合国。
但是，一名要求匿名的律师说，最高法院赢得了被告“可能会伤害竞标操纵起诉”。新利luck“现任保守派法院因缩小财产理论而臭名昭著。”
