Now that Howard K Sterns defamation lawsuit against Houston attorney John O’Quinn is tentatively settled, it appears the wheels will start turning in Virgie Arthur’s defamation lawsuit against Howard K. Stern and CBS Studios in the Southern District Court in Houston Texas.

There has been a protective order issued by Judge Lee H Rosenthal in the case, just as there has been in all the other cases that have arisen out of the tragic death of Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel.

One of the sections of the order says “confidential information shall not be used for purposes other than in connection with this case”. However, we saw Rita Cosby in New York who is also being sued by Howard K. Stern, freely hand over her deposition as well as those of investigators Don Clark and Wilma Vice to the Florida case.

Howard K. Stern was the only person who objected to having his deposition used from the Cosby case and he is the Plaintiff in both cases. Not too long after, the Florida case is tentatively settled. Could the same happen here?
