A former federal court clerk and a New York lawyer who together operated a long-running cash-for-clients bribery scheme were sentenced to prison on Monday, prosecutors said. The former clerk, Dionisio Figueroa, 66, of Manhattan, was sentenced to two years in prison after being convicted at trial in December of conspiracy, bribery and other charges, according to prosecutors and court filings. The lawyer, Telesforo Del Valle Jr., pleaded guilty to conspiracy, bribery and other charges in November, court filings show. Mr. Del Valle, 65, of Leonia, N.J., was sentenced to a year and a day in prison and fined $10,000, prosecutors said. Prosecutors had sought sentences of about four years for Mr. Figueroa and about three years for Mr. Del Valle, court records show.
