According to the documents, Shetterley decided they would vacate University-owned offices in Lawrenceville in June 2004 after budget cuts forced the programs to move.
When Buckner did not receive instruction from Shetterley about what to do with leftover materials from a program that had not moved to a new building, she stored them at her home, which was close to the original program office, according to the documents.
Buckner was arrested and charged with 10 felony counts of theft by taking and lost her job at the University as a project director of an educational grant program.
Following the dismissal of the charges in July 2005, Buckner filed and won a civil lawsuit against Shetterley in October 2008.
Shetterley lost a motion she filed for new judgment "as a matter of law" and an alternative motion for a new trial on Dec. 15, according to court documents.
Shetterley had no comment on her denied motions Thursday morning, but referred The Red & Black to Tim Kelly, associate director in the Office of Legal Affairs. Efforts to reach Kelly and Shetterley's lawyer Brian Webb were unsuccessful as of Thursday afternoon.
