MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A federal judge on Tuesday, June 16, denied former Milwaukee County judge Hannah Dugan's motion to reconsider her conviction. 

U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman found Dugan did not "satisfy the burden required for reconsideration." 

Dugan's defense had submitted a motion looking for either an acquittal or a new trial. 

Dugan was convicted of an obstruction charge in December after attempting to help an undocumented immigrant escape federal agents in the Milwaukee County Courthouse.

When she is eventually sentenced, Dugan could face five years in federal prison and a fine of up to $350,000.
