Prosecutors say an appeals court shouldn’t grant former Gov. Rod Blagojevich a third sentencing hearing.

Their filing March 16 came on the day the Illinois Democrat started his sixth year in prison for corruption.

The one-time “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant with President Donald Trump asked the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in December for another sentencing.

Among other things, he argued a lower court didn’t consider Blagojevich’s good behavior in prison at an August resentencing in reimposing the original 14-year sentence.

The 7th Circuit ordered the resentencing after tossing five of Blagojevich’s 18 convictions.

Prosecutors’ 47-page filing offers few new arguments for why Blagojevich’s sentence is appropriate.

It notes he’s never acknowledged seriously wrongdoing. Oral arguments are on April 18.
