O.J. Simpson Seeks Dismissal of Suit

[kskiska]

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) - O.J. Simpson has asked a California court to dismiss a lawsuit seeking the publicity rights to his name, image and likeness to pay millions of dollars owed to relatives of his slain ex-wife and her friend.

Fred Goldman, whose son, Ron Goldman, was killed alongside Simpson's ex-wife Nicole in 1994, filed a petition last month in Santa Monica Superior Court seeking control of the publicity rights to O.J. Simpson's name and likeness.

In seeking the petition's dismissal, Simpson argued that he is not subject to matters in the California court because he lives in Florida.

Goldman's petition said Simpson has made money from autographs and appearances but hasn't paid a dime of the estimated $38 million he owed from the wrongful death suit and interest on the amount awarded.
