Judge's attorney asks to move Fieger suit

Geoffrey Fieger may have to present his $1 million defamation lawsuit against the local chief circuit judge in federal court.

Jeff Goodis, a St. Petersburg attorney representing Judge Thomas Gallen, has asked to remove the suit from Michigan state court. If Fieger doesn't contest the request, Goodis said he will ask a federal court in Michigan to dismiss the case or move it to Florida.

Fieger filed the lawsuit soon after Gallen criticized the lawyer in the Herald-Tribune and filed a complaint against Fieger with the Florida Bar.

In a letter to the editor, Gallen said Fieger should be punished for calling two men who served on a jury "Nazis" and "creeps." The jury found Fieger's client, Ralf Panitz, guilty of second-degree murder.
