The plaintiff in a gender bias civil lawsuit against Butler County’s president judge has asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit to reject an appeal aimed at establishing his immunity from suit.

The lawsuit was filed by a probation officer in the wake of the president judge’s sexual relationship with her.

The plaintiff, Crystal Starnes, on March 29 argued the judge’s petition is time-barred and should be thrown out.
