ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) _ An ex-astronaut accused of driving 1,000
miles to confront a romantic rival has asked a judge to dismiss
some of the charges against her because she claims prosecutors
failed to disclose evidence.

An attorney for Lisa Nowak filed a motion Monday seeking
sanctions against prosecutors and police officers. The motion says
they failed to turn over a report that raises questions about
whether Nowak's rival, Colleen Shipman, was pepper-sprayed during
the confrontation more than two years ago.

Nowak was charged with attempted kidnapping, burglary and
battery with assault. She was dismissed from the astronaut corps
after her arrest.

A spokeswoman for the State Attorney's Office in Orlando didn't
return a phone call after business hours.
