Actor Wesley Snipes was ordered Wednesday to voluntarily surrender at a federal prison in Pennsylvania next week to start his three-year sentence for failing to pay taxes.
The U.S. Marshal's Office ordered Snipes to report to the Federal Correctional Institution McKean in Lewis Run, Pa., by noon on Dec. 9.
Snipes had tried unsuccessfully to remain free on bail while appealing his conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The 48-year-old star of the "Blade" trilogy was convicted in 2008 for willful failure to file income tax returns. His attorney, Daniel Meachum, didn't immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment.
