A Philadelphia attorney is seeking to appeal a nearly $230,000 judgment against him for allegedly failing to pay back a $25,000 litigation funding loan, but the judge overseeing the case has urged the Pennsylvania Superior Court not to take up the case.
Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Gary Glazer last month issued an opinion asking the intermediate appellate court to quash the appeal in Lawyers Funding Group v. Martucci, which resulted in a $229,875 judgment being entered last year against attorney John Martucci. The judge urged the Superior Court in a brief opinion issued last month to reject, saying that the defendants had failed “to adhere to any rule of court throughout the lawsuit, including failing to file post-trial motions to alert this court of any alleged claim of error.”
