Anaheim Ducks owner Henry Samueli had his plea bargain proposal rejected today, Reuters reports.

Samueli, 53, pleaded guilty in June to a charge of making a materially false statement to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigators, following the company’s restatement last year of $2 billion in compensation expenses.
