	Judge Delays Prison Start Date for Priest By Donna Porstner The Advocate May 6, 2008 http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/ci_9170805 NEW HAVEN - A federal judge has again postponed the date a priest convicted of embezzling from his Darien church must report to prison. The Rev. Michael Jude Fay, former pastor of St. John Roman Catholic Church on the Post Road, was scheduled to begin serving his three-year sentence May 19 but was granted a reprieve until July 8. U.S. District Court Judge Janet Bond Arterton said it should be enough time to determine whether the federal Bureau of Prisons will allow Fay to participate in a clinical study for a new cancer drug. Fay has prostate cancer and is being treated at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. The extension was timed so the court would have the results of Fay's next scheduled CAT scan and bone scan, which his doctor said will determine whether the experimental drug MDV3100 is working. Fay's oncologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, Dr. Ethan Basch, participated in the court hearing by telephone.
