WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court won’t hear an appeal from a conservative lawyer and activist in his long-running dispute with a federal judge.
The justices on Monday did not comment in letting stand lower court decisions dismissing Larry Klayman’s lawsuit against U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.
Klayman claimed the judge harbored a personal bias against him, leading to adverse rulings against him and his clients in multiple cases. He filed an ethics complaint against Kollar-Kotelly and asked the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to remove her from the bench. The appeals court declined to take any action against the judge and dismissed Klayman’s complaint.
Klayman founded the government watchdog group Judicial Watch in 1994 and has filed hundreds of lawsuits against the federal government. Klayman left the group in 2003.
