MOSCOW, September 22 (RIA Novosti) - Former Yukos CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky told the court Thursday that his appeal against the nine-year sentence had not been prepared properly and he needed another eight weeks to get ready.

 Khodorkovsky's lawyer Yury Schmidt asked the court to stop considering the appeal and set up a new date.

Khodorkovsky's lawyers say that the court appointed the start of the appeal hearings for September 14 too hastily.
