WASHINGTON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Tuesday denied Wells Fargo's attempt to beat back a financial-crisis lawsuit by arguing it conflicted with an earlier settlement.

District Judge Rosemary Collyer in Washington, who is supervising the 2012 multi-bank $25 billion mortgage misconduct settlement, said she did not agree with the bank's assessment of that settlement.
