A federal judge has denied an appeal reuqest by Kellog, Brown & Root to appeal over a lawsuit which accuses the company of negligent homocide in the electrocution death of a U.S. soldier.

“KBR filed a motion with U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer asking her to amend a March order that will allow the case to move forward; the order prevented an appeal during the course of the case,” reported the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “The contractor wanted her to change that order to allow it to appeal her decision on a motion for dismissal to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.”
