CHICAGO - A federal court clerk says ex-media mogul Conrad Black's bail hearing will be held Wednesday in Chicago.
The clerk says the hearing before U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve will begin at 8:45 a.m.
Black remains in a federal prison in Florida, and an official there says he'll stay there until the prison is notified officially by the court that a judge has set bond and the conditions of that bond.
An appellate court Monday granted Black bail just weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court weakened the "honest services" fraud law that was the basis of Black's fraud conviction, and kicked the case back to a lower court.
A spokesman for the federal prison in Coleman, Fla., says Black does not necessarily have to attend the hearing.
Black was convicted along with three other former executives from the media empire Hollinger International of swindling the company's shareholders out of $6.1 million.
