The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has declined to hear Philadelphia-area attorney Nancy Raynor’s appeal over a $45,000 sanction she received for allegedly attempting to pressure a witness.
The justices issued an order Tuesday afternoon denying allocatur in Sutch v. Roxborough Memorial Hospital—a lung-cancer-related case that resulted in an additional $1 million sanction being levied against Raynor for a comment she allegedly elicited from an expert that eventually led to a mistrial. That $1 million sanction was reversed last year, but in November the state Superior Court determined that a separate nearly $45,000 sanction stemming from the same case was appropriate.
