LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge on Friday declined to immediately issue a sentence. Shales Her son is in the legal conservatorship she is seeking, and although he opposes it, the court is expected to take up the issue again in the coming weeks.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jessica A. Uzcategui ruled that Cher's lawyers failed to give Elijah Blue Allman and his lawyers the documents they needed to give them enough time to file their lawsuit. A new hearing was scheduled for January 29th.
Singer and actor who won an Oscar and a Grammy last week filed a petition for administration; Elijah Blue Allman, 47, said his struggles with addiction and mental health have left him unable to manage his finances, and his ability to buy drugs could put his life at risk. Told.
Allman receives funding from a trust left by his late father, musician Gregg Allman. Mr. Cher's lawyer, Gabriel Vidal, said at Friday's hearing that payments from the trust are pending and that the immediate creation of a conservatorship is a “life-or-death matter.”
But Uzcategui said he was “not persuaded.”
She cited Scheer's attorney's reluctance to share materials with Allman's attorney when contacted Thursday. Scheer's attorney had concerns about confidentiality and instead shared the documents with Allman's public defender, she said.
Allman said in a court filing ahead of the hearing that a conservatorship is not necessary. He admitted to battling addiction and irresponsible spending, but is under medical treatment, has been sober for more than three months, attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and has passed drug tests. He also expressed his desire to submit a proposal.
“While I understand that I believe my mother, as a potential conservator, has my best interests in mind, and I am grateful for her love and support, at this time I cannot accept her unilateral assistance. “No support is required,” the application states.
Allman appeared in court Friday, but spoke only briefly to answer the judge's questions. His attorney declined to comment after the hearing.
Cher did not attend. Her attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
