Judge Lewis J. Liman has denied the Gossip Girl alum's request to file additional briefs before he makes his final decision in the It Ends With Us co-stars' legal battle, according to TMZ.

Lively is still seeking legal fees and damages from the 42-year-old's defamation suit, which was tossed by the judge last June.

Despite settling their long-standing case, the 38-year-old has maintained that she's still entitled to compensatory damages from the dismissed suit.

Yet, per Star Magazine, Baldoni's legal team alleged that the Another Simple Favor actor "does not explain why" she believes additional docs are needed, which Liman ultimately sided with.

Both parties declared "victory" after the settlement that stemmed from Lively's sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit.

Lawyers for the Savages actor argued that the deal dispels the "fiction that Ms. Lively fabricated claims of sexual harassment and retaliation."

Baldoni's attorneys have also claimed that Lively "voluntarily" opted to settle the case because her team "knew they were going to lose in court".
