Awards and associations
Notable cases
Bradley Birkenfield case
Judge Zloch was the presiding judge in the case of former UBS banker Bradley Birkenfield who was considered to be the a key person in a wide range income tax evasion case. On December 31, 2009, Birkefield's legal team asked the judge to delay the start of his three year prison sentence on grounds he should be re-sentenced for cooperating with authorities. This comes after federal prosecutors asked the judge to be lenient on sentencing the former banker[2].
On January 4, 2010, the judge refused a request from Birkenfield's legal team to give a reduced prison sentence for cooperating with authorities in addition to prosecutors asking the judge to be lenient on him. With the judge's decision, Birkenfield is scheduled to begin serving a three year prison sentence on January 8, 2010[3].
