			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><!-- sphereit start --><p>After a flurry of motions, sworn statements and joinders,  Administrative Judge Olen Underwood denied Howard K. Sterns motion to recuse Judge Tony Lindsay who was presiding over the case of Virgie Arthur vs Howard K. Stern, and others.</p>
<p>Mrs. Arthur filed a conspiracy and defamation case that was originally assigned to the 190th District Court in Harris County Texas. The case saw no action so it was moved to the 280th District and the Honorable Judge Tony Lindsay in September of 2008.</p>
<p>In December of 2008, four of the defendants lost their attorney due to various reasons. Some gave the reason of lack of funds, other reasons given were conflict of interest. Either before or shortly after, one defendant, Nelda Turner decided she wanted out of the lawsuit and contacted Mrs. Arthurs attorney Neil McCabe and began to turn over evidence.</p>
<p>Turner has stated on her website she turned over five to six DVD&#8217;s full of emails to McCabe concerning the bloggers, defendants and witnesses in this case and publicly wrote a statement of cooperation. Suddenly Turner came up with an attorney, reneiged on whatever agreements she had with counsel for Arthur, gave a sworn statement that was in direct opposition to emails revealed between herself and McCabe and statements she made on her website.</p>
<p>Howard K. Stern&#8217;s counsel Lin Wood filed a motion to recuse the judge on the case apparently based upon statements made by Turner and a rumor of ex-parte communications between McCabe, Judge Lindsay and Judge Wise who was the one who moved the case.</p>
<p>Sources who attended the hearing today say that when Judge Underwood asked for evidence of Judge Lindsay&#8217;s misconduct from Attorney Luke Lantta who was filling in for Lin Wood, he did not have any actual evidence other than Turners statement. Underwood ruled &#8220;motion denied&#8221;.</p>
<p>The case was previously stayed by defendant Bonnie Stern filing bankruptcy but McCabe for Arthur filed a motion with the bankruptcy court in California and got the stay lifted.</p>
<p>Now the case can continue and it promises to be quite interesting as it involves not only Mrs. Arthur, the mother of the late Anna Nicole Smith but Smith&#8217;s companion and attorney Howard K. Stern, journalist and CNN coorespondant Art Harris, TMZ and its managing editor Harvey Levin, the father of Anna Nicole&#8217;s infant daughter, Larry Birkhead, Sterns sister Bonnie and two bloggers Lyndal Harrington, Teresa Stephens and a blog owner Nelda Turner.</p>
<p>Yours truly is a witness in the case as well as another blogger Chrystal Baker who goes by the moniker Havana. If I am able to provide anymore details, Ill update this page.</p>
<p>Signed order <a href="http://www.hcdistrictclerk.com/eDocs/Public/DocPreview.aspx?BasketStamp=41892212&amp;CourtID=280" target="_blank">denying recusal of Judge</a></p>
<p><strong>**Updates**</strong></p>
<p>Lack of evidence was indeed the reason for the ruling today and Judge Lindsay will be presiding again, because Judge Underwood signed the order denying recusal.</p>
<p>Before Mrs. Arthur can proceed against Bonnie Stern, the bankruptcy judge in California must sign the order reflecting his ruling from the bench. Ms. Stern can appeal that ruling if she so desires.</p>
<p>The issue of sanctions was postponed due to Stern&#8217;s attorney Lin Wood&#8217;s absence and will be addressed at a later time.</p>
<p>To explain the issue about Judge Wise and the transfer of the case; An affidavit was admitted into evidence from Judge Wise, saying that, after Mr. McCabe filed his motion to reconsider the transfer of the case from Judge Kerrigan (190th) to Judge Lindsay (280th) (in other words, McCabe&#8217;s motion asked Judge Wise to send the case back to Judge Kerrigan), Judge Wise asked both other judges what they thought of the motion to reconsider transfer. Judge Lindsay responded by email, and Judge Wise had already decided <strong>not </strong>to grant the motion to reconsider.  Apparently before Judge Wise could deny the motion, McCabe withdrew it. Everything was done  properly. Judge Wise was not present at the hearing.</p>
<p>Wood let Luke Lantta, a four-year lawyer, take the bullet for him.  Also present was Herring, managing partner of the Dallas Bryan Cave office, who let Mr. Lantta take the loss.</p>
<p>Howard K. Stern was not present. Lyndal Harrington was. Attorney Mike Meyer handled the hearing. McCabe was of course present and testified. Attorney John O&#8217;Quinn was present, and so was Don Clark. Mr. McCabe&#8217;s paralegal Patti Lampton was there, and Jonathan Stoger, another O&#8217;Quinn lawyer who has helped with Mrs. Arthur&#8217;s case was there too. So was WV.</p>
<p>Defendant Art Harris had Chip Babcock to carry and fumble the ball; also Amanda Bush, and Nancy Hamilton.</p>
<p>Nelda&#8217;s Turner&#8217;s lawyer was there as well. As far as what happens next, Judge Lindsay takes over so we wait and see.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The second anniversary of the death of Anna Nicole Smith is upon us. She died two years ago today on February 8th, 2007.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><!-- sphereit start --><p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-746 alignnone" title="ans_glamor_blackandwhite" src="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/ans_glamor_blackandwhite.jpg" alt="ans_glamor_blackandwhite" width="250" height="301" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The second anniversary of the death of Anna Nicole Smith is upon us. She died two years ago today on February 8<sup>th</sup>, 2007. I was a fan of her reality show and watched her personal appearances. I saw radio shock jock Howard Stern berate her for weight gain and I celebrated with her when she debuted slim and triumphant as the spokeswoman for <a href="http://www.recong2.com/journal/trimspa_post_anna_nicole_is_a_company_more_than_the_spokesperson" target="_blank">Trimspa</a>. She then ended up having the second child she always wanted only to have her beloved son Daniel <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1533524,00.html" target="_blank">die three short days </a>after the birth of baby girl Dannielynn Hope. Five months later Anna Nicole Smith was also gone.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">That’s why I started this website. It was called “A Mothers Last Wishes”. I already told the story of this blog and the blog war that ensued in <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/A_Mothers_Last_Wishes.pdf" target="_blank">this </a>series of articles. A year has passed but what I said then is what I would say now if I were to write that part all over again. <span id="more-743"></span><br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The deaths of Anna Nicole and her son Daniel have spawned not one but several civil legal actions. First there was an inquest into Daniels death. Many were thinking that criminal charges could have been pressed in the Bahamas against Anna’s attorney and friend Howard K. Stern for Daniels death. The jury, who were instructed to come back with a <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=7&amp;entry_id=25324" target="_blank">specific verdict</a> in that country known for corruption found Daniels cause of death to be non-dependent drug use. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Stern has been a busy man though. He has sued TV journalist and book author Rita Cosby for her book, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21122641/" target="_blank">Blonde Ambition</a>. Ms. Cosby’s book outlined the suspicious circumstances of Anna Nicole and Daniels deaths. That suit is still ongoing in the United States Southern District Court of New York . </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Stern sued Houston Texas billionaire attorney John O’Quinn. O’Quinn represented Anna’s mother Virgie Arthur in Florida Broward County Court as she fought for the right to take her daughters remains back home to Texas. But Daniel was buried in the Bahamas. Early reports from the funeral home handling arrangements indicated that Daniel’s body was being prepared for shipment back to the United States. It’s rumored that Anna Nicole was told she could not afford to do this. This was even after photos were sold for several hundred thousand dollars of Daniels last hours with his mother and sister. Anna’s remains went back to the Bahamas with Daniels and there they rest alone. <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/110907_Stern_vs_OQuinn_64_First_Amended_Complaint.pdf" target="_blank">Stern’s defamation lawsuit</a> against O’Quinn he says, arose from statements that O’Quinn made to the press during and after those hearings.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Stern vs O’Quinn has <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/112408_Stern_vs_OQuinn_247.pdf" target="_blank">settled</a>. There was no statement from either party but speculation continues because there was a continuance granted to the defense on the date set for settlement talks. To the surprise of followers of the case, settlement talks proceeded anyway. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Stern as executor of Anna Nicole’s estate <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/080408_Stern_vs_Shelley_Thompson_et_al_1.pdf" target="_blank">sued </a>G. Ben Thompson and Ford Shelley who were former friends of Anna Nicole. They sold her a house in the Bahamas which they were never paid for. When Anna Nicole died, Ford Shelley entered the home and took things belonging to Anna Nicole. Shelley said she told him to do that in case anything ever happened to her. Which it did. What has been revealed has sparked worldwide controversy as to how much responsibility Stern should share regarding the deaths of Anna Nicole and Daniel.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Via Ford Shelley and Geraldo, Americans were treated to the infamous “Clown Video” where Anna Nicole is eight months pregnant and apparently under the influence&#8230; Just about every instance of that video has been removed from the internet even though Stern says the video was supposedly a joke that Anna Nicole planned to publish on her website. From a still publicly unknown source, <a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b57354_daniel_smiths_pictorial_postmortem.html" target="_blank">pictures circulated the internet</a> of Anna Nicole purple, hysterical, weeping and devastated while she held her dead 20 year old son Daniel in her arms in the Bahamian hospital where she just gave birth to her beautiful daughter.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In the meantime, Anna Nicole’s mother, Virgie Arthur, <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/1011071arthur1.html" target="_blank">sued </a>Howard K. Stern, CBS Studios and KRPC Houston for the Entertainment Tonight segment that will forever be called “The Mommy Dearest” video. It’s actually what brought me to this story. The sight of Anna Nicole weeping and seething in anger at her mother, whom I had never read or seen anything about was heartbreaking. It was that show which prompted me to start this blog. Only to later find out that Anna Nicole was deeply impaired during the taping of the show. According to those close to her (including baby daddy Larry Birkhead),  she was being kept drugged and out of it and told things that were just not true. Although Birkhead has changed his tune these days and is said to be a very close friend to Stern.<br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Mrs. Arthur’s lawsuit started in Texas State Court and was then removed to Federal District Court . Neil McCabe, Arthur&#8217;s lead attorney petitioned the court to add other parties to the case. The court denied the request but declared any case against the proposed added defendants &#8220;cognizant&#8221;. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">That brings us to Virgie Arthur’s Houston Texas case for defamation. Mrs. Arthur through the O’Quinn Law Firm is suing </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Howard K. Stern and his sister Bonnie Stern. </span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://tmz.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">TMZ.com</span></a><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, Harvey Levin, its managing editor, Art Harris who is a special correspondent for CNN and other programs and networks, one blog owner, Nelda (Rose) Turner and two of her moderators who are Teresa Stephens and Lyndal Harrington.<br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Defendant Rose Turner of </span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://rosespeaks.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">rosespeaks.com</span></a><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> has an “entertainment blog”. She says she likes to cover various high profile legal cases. Rose wrote <em>almost</em> exclusively about the Anna Nicole Smith debacle until she was served with the current defamation suit. Now she covers other issues as well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">After attorney William Ogden who was representing four of the defendants in that case decided that he could not afford to continue defending at least two pro bono defendants, Rose and Lyndal Harrington, (per Turner) he resigned from the case also leaving those two and  two other clients, Bonnie Stern and Art Harris without representation. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Rose, finding herself without an attorney was faced with having to either cooperate with Neil McCabe’s requests for discovery or the judge in the case, The Honorable Tony Lindsay was going to issue an order compelling Turner to surrender her computer to forensic expert <a href="http://www.craigball.com/" target="_blank">Craig Ball</a> who has been appointed for this case. Turner decided to cooperate with McCabe rather than turn over her computer. The other defendants have been ordered to turn their computers and emails over to the forensic expert due to possible spoliation meaning possible destruction of evidence.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Turner had in her possession an email from Bonnie Stern that was enough for attorney Neil McCabe to bring one more party into this lawsuit which not only charges defamation but conspiracy to defame Mrs. Virgie Arthur. That party is the father of Anna Nicole’s baby daughter Dannielynn. In the court documents, McCabe charges it was <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/Arthur_vs_Stern_Second_Amended_Petition_Adding_Birkhead.pdf" target="_blank">Larry Birkhead</a> who gave a mean spirited story TMZ published that implied that Mrs. Arthur married her step-brother with Howard K. Stern “sourcing” that story. In reality, Mrs. Arthur did not marry nor have a child with her step-brother. Their respective parents married later on. Millions of readers saw that story and voted on a poll all designed to humiliate Mrs Arthur.<br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">And then another twist to the story. Defendant Nelda Turner last week, filed a motion to <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/Arthur_vs_Stern_etal_Rose_Turner_Motion_Add_CBS.pdf" target="_blank">bring CBS into the State case.</a> The Federal case against Stern and CBS had been dropped with costs being attributed to each party. Onlookers suspected a defamation case against CBS was not over but no one ever thought it would be Turner who brought them back in by way of the existing state case. Turner then announced that one of the defendants, <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/Bonnie_Stern_bankruptcy_2.pdf" target="_blank">Bonnie Stern has filed for bankruptcy</a>. Research shows that this action will stay the Texas State case however there are legal remedies that I am assuming will be discussed in future hearings that may allow the case to continue while Bonnie Stern follows through with her bankruptcy petition. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The suit against Cosby continues. On the eve before former Los Angeles police officer and former body guard of Larry Birkhead, Mark Spear was to give a deposition in the Cosby case, Howard K. Stern filed a <a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b26970_stern_sues_alleged_anna_nicole_tell-all.html" target="_blank">lawsuit</a> against Spear and Jackie Hatten who was a personal friend of Anna Nicole’s. Stern claims both parties libeled him and caused false information to be published in Crosby ’s Blonde Ambition.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Sterns suit against Thompson and Shelley continues as does Anna Nicole’s lawsuit against the estate of J. Howard Marshall which she took all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States and prevailed in allowing it to be heard. Anna Nicole’s surviving child Dannielynn would be the beneficiary of anything won in that action but also big legal fees would go to Howard K. Stern.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Larry Birkhead with daughter Dannielynn appeared as a surprise guest on <a href="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0902/02/lkl.01.html" target="_blank">Larry King Live</a> the other night which was featuring “the crying judge” from the Anna Nicole burial hearing, Larry Seidlin. Birkhead and Stern are spotlighted in a television special that is airing  on “E!” television called, “<a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b82259_mourning_anna_nicole_i_still_have.html" target="_blank">Anna Nicole, Tragedy in Paradise</a>”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> Birkhead said he and Dannielynn are set to star in their own television <a href="http://www.realitytvmagazine.com/blog/2008/11/04/larry-birkhead-is-heading-to-reality-tv-with-his-daughter-dannielynn/" target="_blank">reality show</a> on the same network which just happend to be the network which created Anna Nicoles reality show back in 2002. It appears on all fronts that Birkhead is the new Anna Nicole Smith. He does not say who his manager is but for all intensive purposes, he has her possessions, her child and now he wants her stardom. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">An investigation into the prescribing practices of one Los Angeles doctor and the psychiatrist who prescribed eleven medications of which eight were prescribed in Howard K. Sterns name was announced by California Attorney General Jerry Brown in October of 2007. Dr Kristine Erosovitch and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor had their <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,301436,00.html?sPage=fnc/entertainment/celebrity/smith" target="_blank">offices and storage units raided by the California AG</a>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The much anticipated investigation continues and another bomb shell was dropped just days ago.The offices of Dr. Sandeep Kapoor were raided again and this time <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/05/anna-nicole-smith-doctor-searched/" target="_blank">TMZ</a> is reporting that </span>United States Drug Enforcement Administration  assisted in serving a search warrant along with the California Medical Board. They are looking for a connection between the doctor and Howard K. Stern.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">As for me, I have been named as a cooperating witness but former co-conspirator in Virgie Arthur&#8217;s defamation lawsuit in Houston Texas. It is said that evidence <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/051308_Von_Waddle_full_interview.pdf" target="_blank">I</a> and one of my former moderators, &#8220;<a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/051308_Chrystal_Baker_full_depo.pdf" target="_blank">Havana</a>&#8220;, submitted to the O’Quinn firm has made this state case possible. We being tiny links to a larger chain of conspiracy.<br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">My opinion of the sad deaths of Anna Nicole and Daniel has changed drastically. However as a witness, I find it best to keep my thoughts to myself. I have been maligned and attacked by Turner and the members of her website on the internet. I refuse to engage. The truth and substance of this case will be sorted out in a court of law. I stand by all I have said and will quietly remain until the final gavel falls. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">There are many who desire to know the whole true story behind the lives and suspicious deaths of Anna Nicole and her son Daniel. Her adorable daughter Dannielynn deserves to know. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Hopefully with the latest raid in California and the ongoing investigation, the world will get some answers as to why two people had to die too young and too soon.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><!-- sphereit start --><p>I havent had a chance to read all the latest lawsuit documents today but I did read the &#8220;Second Amended Original Petition&#8221; where Virgie Arthur is adding Larry Birkhead to her defamation lawsuit. She is also suing Howard K. Stern, Bonnie Stern, Art Harris, TMZ Productions, Harvey Levin, Rose Turner, Lyndal Harrington and Teresa Stevens. The later three are bloggers and Turner is the owner of a pro Howard K. Stern website Rosespeaks.com</p>
<p>Attorney Neil McCabe is asking the court for sanctions against Bonnie Stern due to her being unresponsive in his requests for discovery.</p>
<p>I had a chance to touch base with Attorney Neil McCabe and he said today&#8217;s the hearing went well. His <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/Arthur_vs_Stern_Motion_to_Compel_BStern_Harrington_Harris_Turner.pdf " target="_self">motion to compel Bonnie Stern </a>to produce was granted  with some minor exceptions.</p>
<p>The Discovery is to be done through an independent forensic computer expert with the judge saying she will grant the same with Art Harris, Lyndal Harrington and Rose Turner if they also do not cooperate as requested.</p>
<p>Attorney Ogden who represents Bonnie Stern, Art Harris, Rose Turner and Lyndal Harrington asked Judge Tony Lindsey if the judge should make Mr. McCabe show that he really has a case.</p>
<p>To that she replied, &#8220;Oh, I think he&#8217;s done that&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><!-- sphereit start --><p>Anna Nicole Smith&#8217;s mother Virgie Arthur&#8217;s conspiracy and defamation case against Howard K. Stern, his sister, Bonnie Stern, Journalist Art Harris, TMZ, Managing Editor of TMZ &#8211; Harvey Levin and bloggers Nelda (Rose) Turner, Lyndal (Lynderella) Harrington and Teresa (Butterfly) Stevens is underway.</p>
<p>Arthur&#8217;s attorney Neil McCabe has filed a motion to compel Howard K. Stern to produce information requested with exhibits. McCabe has also filed a &#8220;Designation of Expert&#8221;. Stern has previously filed his objections to requests for documents and information concerning emails and web postings and they are included with the exhibits. A hearing is scheduled for December 10th to discuss the email issues outlined in the documents.</p>
<p>A Mr John Mallery of Kansas City Missouri has been designated as an expert witness who may testify concerning forensic examination of various computer hard drives. His resume of credentials and publications are attached to the document.</p>
<p>With the circumstances being that I am a witness and a &#8220;former co-conspirator&#8221; who has agreed to cooperate in this case, my personal comments will be limited to preserve the integrity of my probable testimony.</p>
<p>This case will be interesting in many ways as the internet is still young as far as lawsuit precedents and law governing the internet that may be needed in the future.</p>
<p>That being said, you can read the motion to compel and the exhibits in support thereof as well as information concerning the expert witness.</p>

Rosenthal filed a thirty-one page order  dispensing with several motions before her, in the civil suit of Anna Nicole Smith&#8217;s mother, Virgie Arthur  vs Howard K. Stern and CBS Studios and KPRC Houston.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">The attorneys for Mrs. Arthur had sought to add additional  defendants to the lawsuit after her attorneys had discovered that there was  defamation ongoing not only on television but also on the internet. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Attorney Neil McCabe of the O&#8217;Quinn Law Firm in Houston   TX filed a motion to add Art Harris, a  journalist and blog owner of artharris.com, Bonnie Stern, sister of Howard K.  Stern, Harvey Levin, managing editor of TMZ.com and also TMZ the internet site  and company. Also requested to be added were bloggers Nelda Rose Turner, owner  of rosepeaks.com, Lyndal Harrington, a moderator of rosespeaks.com and Teresa  Stephens a former moderator of rosespeaks.com.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">The motion to add the additional defendants was denied.  However, anticipating a denial, McCabe and colleague Attorney Michael Meyer  filed a lawsuit in the 190th District Court of Harris County Texas against the  additional defendants. There are presently jurisdiction objections from the non  Texas residents. <strike>Also there are motions  pending in that court and requests for documents and examination of computers  used to allegedly defame Mrs. Arthur.</strike></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Judge Rosenthal lists the various reasons for denial however,  she recognized the validity of the claim of defamation and conspiracy and went  as far as to write in her opinion that the added claim appears <a href="http://www.yourdictionary.com/cognizable" class="external"><strong>cognizable</strong></a> to  pursue in state court. <a href="http://law.jrank.org/pages/5338/Cognizance.html" class="external"><strong>Cognizable</strong></a> </font><em><strong>The power, authority, and ability of a judge to determine a particular legal matter.</strong> </em><font face="Verdana" size="2">(click on the highlighted words for more in depth definitions). The state court claim was  also filed in a timely manner and can now commence.</font><br />
<span id="more-245"></span></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">KPRC was dismissed from the suit. Cited was the studio had a  contractual obligation to broadcast the Entertainment Tonight interview and had  no way of knowing in advance the subject matter of the interview.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Howard K. Stern&#8217;s motion to dismiss for lack of personal  jurisdiction was denied. For specific personal jurisdiction, Judge Rosenthal  differentiates and writes that &#8220;the court must assess Stern&#8217;s forum  contacts independently from the contacts of the other alleged conspirators. The  question is whether Stern himself, not the alleged co-conspirators had the  requisite minimum contacts.&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">The Judge states the claim against Stern is not that he  himself made the defamatory remarks about Virgie Arthur by arranging the ET  interview but that he urged Anna Nicole to make the statements about Mrs.  Arthur. The Judge writes the alleged defamatory remarks concerned Arthur&#8217;s  treatment of Anna Nicole when she was a child in Texas  and about her experiences in Texas. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Stern knew that Arthur lives in Texas  and has lived in Texas her whole  life even though he has denied that fact in a sworn statement. He knew that  Entertainment Tonight is broadcast in Texas  and the events discussed were purported to occur in Texas.  Arthur lives in Texas and that is  where the harm has occurred and had &#8220;foreseeable effects&#8221; there.  Stern worked to arrange to broadcast statements to the nation including Texas  about the Texas activities of a Texas  resident.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Judge Rosenthal&rsquo;s decision rendered means that Arthur will  be able to pursue her claim against Howard K. Stern and CBS in her Texas Federal Court. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">The Judge also says that Mrs. Arthur will be able to move  forward with her defamation and conspiracy claim against Howard K. Stern,  Bonnie Stern, Art Harris, Harvey Levin, TMZ, Nelda Rose Turner, Lyndal  Harrington and Teresa Stephens in Texas State Court.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">You can read the full text of the Memorandum and Order <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/062608_Memo_and_Order.pdf">here</a>.</font><br />

<p>*Edited to strike reference that there is a motion in the 190th Houston TX court for production of documents and examination of computers. That was in the Federal case and declared moot.</p>

<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Here are the latest documents from Pacer. I think you all will find it an interesting read. Then please come back and see my comments. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/050808_Supplement_plaintiffs_memo.pdf">http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/050808_Supplement_plaintiffs_memo.pdf</a></font></p>

<p><span id="more-231"></span><font face="Verdana" size="2">As time goes by, more is revealed concerning not only the BEHIND THE SCENES conspiracy to defame anyone seen as harmful to Howard K Sterns interests, but the concentrated effort to overthrow my <strong>former</strong> website. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">I see lies and fabrications from a very sick person. I see an internet complaint lodged with no evidence to back it up. Especially when Nelda got upset with me putting her in her place a couple of times last April 19th and asked me not to contact her again. No problem. I only contacted her a couple of times anyway. I fully complied except for a mass emailing that was sent to her accidentally. However, <strong>she is the one </strong> who was and has <strong>continued</strong> to write vicious articles and comments pertaining to me or my website out of the blue with no provocation. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2"> Bonnie Stern, Nelda&#8217;s best buddy. You believed everything she said and threw away not only a brilliant writer but a man who made contributions to you that no one else could do. And then there was me.  The one who started this whole movement for your brother and family. It was <strong>only by my </strong>efforts that you had a group of people supporting and helping you. Yes, it all came from my efforts. And for you people to send us to carry on &#8220;on our own&#8221; for no good reason other than the ravings of a lunatic kind of puts you in the same class. When I saw what you were capable of, I knew that you had no heart and you people were up to no good.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2"> I was so right about you Bonnie and Howard K. Stern and Nelda Turner. One by one people are slandered with false accusations and labeled as untrustworthy and out they go.. Seems like someone wants the spotlight for herself and wants no one standing in HER way. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">That pretty much became apparent when the Houston Chronicle mentioned your names and site name. Oh the bragging that went on was hilarious lol! And the attention seeking with lies about threats, high speed car chases and harassing phone calls <strong>THAT NEVER HAPPENED</strong>.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Quite amusing.&nbsp;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">And now another valuable person  has also been thrown into your trash can. I commend you Havana for coming forward and doing the right thing. Thank you for letting me and everyone that cares know about the corruption, scheming, lies and backstabbing that this group is capable of.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">But I have to thank you too Nelda and Bonnie and Howard. So many things were bothering me anyway, but that is for another time. Another article. I saw the light. My site and what I did is an open book unlike you and yours. And the way you treated people because some senior citizen BDSM hag tells you to.. is despicable and just plain wrong. That was my first real clue as to the type of character that you Sterns have. And that would be <strong>NONE</strong>.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">More to come when more truth comes out. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Oh and Nelda&#8217;s hags. <strong>HERE IS YOUR AUTHENTICATION</strong> in the latest filings! I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if there yet may be</font><font face="Verdana" size="2"> another contributor after this.</font></p>
