What is the current state of the law on the crime of failure to appear for sentencing?

Furthermore, no statute of limitations applies to the crime of failure to appear, providing further evidence that the evils of the offense are continuing. See United States v. Gray, 876 F.2d 1411, 1419 (9th Cir.1989) (holding that 18 U.S.C. 3290 which provides that "[n]o statute of limitations shall extend to any person fleeing from justice," applies to the failure to appear statute), cert. denied, 495 U.S. 930, 110 S.Ct. 2168, 109 L.Ed.2d 497 (1990); cf. United States v. Catino, 735 F.2d 718, 722-23 (2d Cir.) (a person who fails to appear for sentencing is "fleeing from justice."), cert. denied, 469 U.S. 855, 105 S.Ct. 180, 83 L.Ed.2d 114 (1984).
