Today the high court refused to hear his appeal to get his prison sentence overturned. Snipes was convicted in 2008 on 3 misdemeanor counts of willful failure to file income tax returns. In December, he turned himself in to serve 3 years in federal prison in Pennsylvania. He’ll be released in 2013.

Snipes says his constitutional rights were violated when federal prosecutors filed charges in Florida and a judge denied his lawyers a hearing to explain why the venue was inappropriate.
