Former Pimco chief Douglas Hodge is just two weeks away from reporting to prison for his role in the U.S. college admissions scam. Now he’s asking a federal judge to reconsider his nine-month sentence.

Hodge says prosecutors withheld evidence before he was sentenced. In a court filing Thursday, he said he plans to ask the judge for a new hearing that takes that information into account.
