Convicted former NBA referee Tim Donaghy wants a federal judge to end his probation early.
Donaghy was sentenced to serve 15 months in prison on federal wire fraud and gambling charges after The Post revealed he was betting on NBA games. He served 11 months before he was released in November 2009.
He’s asking Brooklyn federal Judge Carol Amon to cut him loose from probation after being under supervision for 33 of the 36 months required.
Donaghy has been working as a radio commentator on “The Sports Connection” in Philadelphia.
But last month, the judge ordered Donaghy to end his work there, after an investigation revealed that radio host Danny Berrelli is actually Daniel Thomas Biancullo — an ex-con with convictions for felony interstate gambling in Florida and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute in New Jersey, a probation report shows.
