Carthage doctor Brian Ellefsen and his brother, accountant Mark Ellefsen will remain behind bars as their appeal works its way through federal court.
In the ruling, which was issued Wednesday, Judge Greg Kays acknowledged that neither Ellefsen would present a flight risk, but said the normal practice is to keep convicted felons behind bars during the appeal process.
The Ellefsens were convicted earlier this year on fraud charges.
