Perry Reich, the Long Island, N.Y., attorney who forged a federal magistrate judge's order, will remain in prison after a unanimous 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision Friday. The court upheld all aspects of Reich's conviction for forgery and obstructing a judicial proceeding, as well as his 27-month sentence. The ruling in United States v. Reich puts an end to a case that surprised and saddened many in the New York legal community who knew Reich as an accomplished appellate lawyer.
