The Enquirer

A federal judge refused Friday to pay any more money to the former court-appointed monitor for the Cincinnati Police Department.

Alan Kalmanoff had complained that the $91,000 he was paid for three weeks of work in 2002 was not enough, and that the city still owed him another $37,000. Judge Susan Dlott found no grounds to pay him more money.

Kalmanoff resigned after city officials complained about his billing practices. He had been hired to oversee the federally mandated reforms of the police department following the city's riots in 2001. The city later hired Saul Green, a former U.S. attorney, to oversee the police reforms.
