Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes will not be heading off to prison tomorrow to begin serving an 11-year prison sentence, as first reported by the WSJ. Though earlier this month, U.S. District Court Judge Edward Davila denied her request to remain free while she appeals her conviction, this week she asked the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals directly if she could stay out of prison while her case makes its way through the appeals process; the request automatically puts her reporting date on hold while the court considers her request, says the Journal.

It’s just the latest twist in a Silicon Valley story that has captivated the broader business world and even led to an Emmy-award winning limited series called “The Dropout” on Hulu.
