A Pennsylvania judge is denying Penn State's request to put on hold former assistant football coach Mike McQueary's lawsuit until related criminal cases are resolved.
 
Judge Thomas Gavin's order issued Thursday says the criminal cases "impose no burden on Penn State" because the university is neither a prosecutor or defendant in the cases against former administrators Graham Spanier, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz.
 
McQueary, who testified in June that he complained to then-coach Joe Paterno after seeing defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky naked in a shower with a boy, is pursuing a whistleblower and defamation case against the school.

Sandusky is serving a decades-long prison sentence after his conviction for sexually abusing 10 boys.
