Dinesh DSouzas request for a summer break from community service gets slapped down by federal judge
Federal Judge Richard Berman shot down conservative filmmaker Dinesh DSouzas request that he be allowed a summer break from his community service because the Catholic high school at which he had been serving is on its summer recess, the New York Posts Josh Saul reports.
DSouza pleaded guilty to violating campaign finance laws by using other peoples identities to donate $20,000 to Republican Wendy Longs failed New York senatorial bid. He was sentenced to eight months in a halfway house and community service, which he had been serving at the Mater Dei School in San Diego.
But when the school let out for the summer, instead of finding an alternative means of performing community service, DSouza had his parole officer petition the court for a summer break. Berman wouldnt hear of it, writing that with respect to [the] request that Mr. DSouzas community service hours be waived from June 1, 2015 until July 13, 2015, the request is respectfully denied.
The short explanation is, Berman continued, as all criminal defendants are aware, that we dont provide summer breaks in these circumstances. He noted that there are other appropriate venue[s] for community service in San Diego and strongly encouraged DSouza to locate one of them and fulfill the terms of his parole immediately.

But I'm sure the people in those places don't want to be subjected to even more trauma.
