	Former Pastor Plans Appeal for Prison Sentence MyFox Lubbock May 15, 2008 http://www.myfoxlubbock.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=6551478&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=3.1.1 A former Lubbock pastor plans to appeal his punishment for fraud and importation of an alien for immoral purposes. James Cornell Clark files the notice on his own behalf with the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals from the Dickens County Corrections Center. Federal Judge Sam Cummings gave Clark the high end of sentencing guidelines, just shy of 20 years. The judge cites "false statements" Clark made at trial and Clark's conviction for forcible conduct, related to a Kenyan woman he brought to Lubbock, then threatened to have deported if she did not have sex with him. Clark is also ordered to pay roughly $544,000 in restitution for defrauding a federal summer food program for children.
