JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — An insurance company is asking for sanctions against Paul Minor in a lawsuit linked to the corruption case that sent the former attorney and two Mississippi judges to prison.

USF&G Insurance Co. says its lawyers have had to respond to “frivolous” motions filed by Minor in his attempts to remove U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate from the case. The company also alleges, among other things, that Minor hasn’t fulfilled his discovery obligations even though the lawsuit was filed in October 2003.
