J-Lo ex tell-all book - no need to go to court
A dispute between Jennifer Lopez and her ex-husband over his proposed US tell-all book about their relationship does not need to go to court, their lawyers said.
The issues between Lopez and Ojani Noa could be settled through arbitration, the lawyers told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Victor Person.
Another pre-trial hearing was set for October 17.
Lopez filed suit on April 10 and obtained a temporary restraining order barring Noa from publishing intimate details of her sex life.
On June 30, she and Noa agreed to have the order extended as a preliminary injunction.
Lopez was not present at yesterday’s hearing, but will have to attend if the judge orders a mandatory settlement conference.
Her lawyer, Kristina Brittenham, declined to comment. Noa’s attorney, Robert Vasquez, also declined to talk about the case.
Lopez, who has appeared in films including Selena, Out of Sight and Monster-in-Law, married Noa in February 1997 after meeting him in a Miami restaurant. They divorced 11 months later.
