The New York prosecutor's office had been asked by the court to present details of its appeal by December 6 but the appeal to extend Hakan Atilla's sentence had later been withdrawn meaning he will serve no longer than 32 months in prison.
Prosecutors demanded a sentence of more than 15 years after a New York jury had found former Halkbank executive Hakan Atilla guilty of helping Iran evade US sanctions, that followed a nearly four-week trial, in January this year.
