A Lebanon County judge is not backing down from his decision to hit a businessman with a $2.8 million default judgment as a sanction for numerous discovery delays.

Lebanon Judge Charles T. Jones Jr. has denied an emergency petition to open a default judgment against Corey C. Wolff, who was being sued for allegedly using money meant for a solar energy system project to instead pay off millions in corporate and personal debts. In December, Jones had hit Wolff with the default judgment, consisting of $2.44 million on the plaintiff’s claims, plus $432,400 in interest.
