A federal judge has denied a plaintiffs attorney’s motion seeking reconsideration of an order requiring her to pay $89,234.74 in fees and other costs to Camden County for bringing frivolous litigation.

U.S. District Judge Noel Hillman of the District of New Jersey on Tuesday said Sewell solo Cheryl Cooper’s repeated missed deadlines and filings did not constitute “excusable neglect” for reconsideration of the judgment, upholding the sanction issued earlier this year by the late senior U.S. District Judge Jerome Simandle.
