A federal judge has approved an indefinite delay in the sentencing of a former drug company sales chief who pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud the U.S. Food snd Drug Administration.
U.S. District Judge Richard G. Stearns today approved the motion to delay sentencing Robert A. Ronzio until the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals acts on a related case.
Ronzio was the sales chief for the New England Compounding Center, the company blamed for a deadly fungal meningitis outbreak.
Ronzio, one of 14 people connected to NECC who were indicted following a two-year probe, was the chief government witness in the trials of his former colleagues.
In his order today Stearns instructed the U.S. Attorney's office and Ronzio's attorney, to consult with the court clerk once an appeals court ruling is issued and set a firm sentencing date.
The sentencing had been set for Aug. 18.
