A federal judge in Connecticut denied TV newsman Armond "Al" Terzi's motion for attorneys' fees in the Janet Peckinpaugh sex discrimination case. Peckinpaugh alleged Hartford's Channel 3 fired her because of her gender, and in retaliation for a sexual harassment complaint she made against Terzi at a previous job. She won a $3.79 million verdict, but later settled. Terzi argued he was entitled to attorney's fees because Peckinpaugh's claim against him was "frivolous, unreasonable and groundless."

Chief U.S. District Court Judge Alfred V. Covello needed only four paragraphs to explain his decision to deny TV newsman Armond “Al” Terzi’s motion for attorneys’ fees in the Janet Peckinpaugh sex discrimination case.
Covello, in a written opinion filed with U.S. District Court in Hartford, ruled last month that Terzi’s motion was not filed within 30 days of the date of judgment as mandated by federal practice rules.
