A lawyer hit with a $1,548 sanction for what a federal judge called a “pattern of disruptive behavior” and “flagrant disregard for the court’s orders” has asked the full Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider a July ruling upholding the penalty.

In a motion filed last week, attorney Sandra Finch and her lawyer, Bruce Harvey, argued the appellate court erred when it ruled Finch waived her Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination during a now-settled insurance dispute.
