The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has declined to hear Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Ethicon’s appeal of a $2.4 million jury verdict that came in the fourth pelvic mesh trial against the company in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.

The jury awarded $2.2 million in Beltz v. Ethicon to plaintiff Sharon Beltz on May 26, 2017, and Ethicon and Johnson & Johnson filed post-trial motions 17 days later. The trial court denied the motions as untimely because the defendants missed the 10-day deadline for post-trial relief required under Pa.R.C.P. No. 227.1(c)(1) and entered a judgment of $2.4 million.
