A federal judge shot down on procedural grounds Friday a former Crowell & Moring employee's effort to drop the age discrimination suit she had filed against the firm. Mona Saunders, 54, sued the firm for $300,000, alleging that she was fired because of her age. The judge wrote that "a plaintiff may dismiss an action by filing a voluntary notice of dismissal only if the opposing party has not served either an answer or a motion for summary judgment." Crowell filed its answer to the allegations in August.
