Update: USA v. Joseph Arpaio has been docketed at the 9th Circuit. It is Case No. 17-10448.
To accept a pardon is an admission of guilt. How can you accept forgiveness without agreeing you have erred?
Legal scholars disagree on that point. It comes out of a 1915 case, & tho Bolton cites it tonight, it's not necessary to her ruling.
I don’t have a J.D. myself, but it seems that someone concerned with avoiding punishment accepts a pardon before appeals are exhausted.
If he was most concerned with his innocence he should have kept appealing until he was able to set a precedent
