Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ months-long battle to extend her freedom is over: A federal court judge late Monday denied her bid to delay imprisonment, ruling she must surrender April 27 to serve her sentence for felony fraud at a Texas prison camp.

Judge Edward Davila wrote in his ruling that he found Holmes was not a flight risk or danger to the public, but he concluded she had not raised any substantial questions of law or fact that would be likely to result in a reversal of the jury’s fraud verdict or a new trial. “Ms. Holmes is in no position to inflict similar harms of fraud on the community, and the Court is unaware of any evidence that she is likely to commit acts of deception or fraud in her everyday life,” Davila wrote.
