► U.S. Judge Catherine Eagles of Greensboro, NC; one of the Good Gals
The State of North Carolina presented Catherine Caldwell Eagles with a law license in 1982 after she graduated from the George Washington University School of Law.
In one matter, Judge Eagles presided over a case involving Generations Federal Credit Union of Texas that involved attorneys Steve Six and Darren Kaplan of the Stueve Siegel Hanson law firm in Kansas City.
During the pendency of the Generations lawsuit, Judge Eagles ruled that attorneys Six and Kaplan were liable for attorney fees incurred by Generations amounting to over $118,000 relating to their frivolous conduct. In her sanctions ruling against Six and Kaplan, Judge Eagles stated in part:
Subsequently, Judge Eagles sanctioned attorneys Six and Kaplan in the amount of $150,000 for their frivolous conduct and for misleading the court about the existence of a crucial document.
Kudos to Judge Eagles for having the courage and fortitude to punish wayward attorneys for engaging in a variety of misconduct.
As we speak (ca. January 2019), Judge continues to sit as a U.S. District Court Judge for the Middle District of North Carolina in Greensboro, North Carolina.
