· COURTS: A Phoenix prosecutor is seeking the federal files in the investigation of disgraced ex-NBA official Tim Donaghy, who was sentenced in July to 15 months in prison for a gambling scandal.
In sentencing Donaghy, the judge said that he had let the sport down by taking thousands of dollars from a professional gambler in exchange for inside tips on games.
Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas asked a year ago for access to information from the FBI's investigation. Thomas wanted to know whether Donaghy broke any Arizona laws while officiating two Suns-Lakers playoff games in 2007.
Thomas was told he'd have to wait until the investigation was concluded. Now that it has, Thomas has sent a follow-up letter to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn, N.Y. . . .
