The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal in the case of Robert Urciuoli, a former Rhode Island hospital executive convicted of corruption, according to a Boston Globe report.
Mr. Urciuoli formerly served as president and CEO of Roger Williams Medical Center in Providence, R.I. He was convicted of fraud and conspiracy in 2008 for paying state senator John Celona to advance his hospital's legislative agenda. He was sentenced in April 2009 to three years in prison.
Mr. Urciuoli appealed to the Supreme Court after a Circuit Court of Appeal upheld his sentence in July.
