A federal judge in Virginia has ordered a plaintiff to pay nearly $63,000 to the defendants and an attorney for filing baseless business conspiracy and legal malpractice claims.

Sopkin purported that as an assignee of Lucre Investments Ltd., she was owed a 2% general partnership interest in Interlase.
