AeroVanti founder misses deadline in $30M Medicare fraud case, may face jail

Update: U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander granted Patrick Britton-Harr’s request for an extension Tuesday evening in a one-page ruling.

Hollander who signed the proposed order submitted by Britton-Harr’s attorney seeking the extension, added a handwritten note to the last line. She writes that the motion is granted providing prosecutors don’t move by May 2 to “rescind this order as improvidently granted.”

Black’s Law Dictionary defines improvidently granted as: A judgment, decree, rule, Injunction, etc., when given or rendered without adequate consideration by the court, or without proper information as to all the circumstances affecting it, or based upon a mistaken assumption or misleading information or advice, is sometimes said to have been “improvidently” given or issued.
