Michael Jackson’s production company was seeking the return of items for sale in an auction, including a collection of art, MTV Video Music Awards, crystal-encrusted gloves, and a list of about 2,000 more items. On Friday a judge ruled against returning the times to the company – they are still scheduled to go up for bidding on April 22.

The company, however, has issued another motion for an injunction to stop the sale of these items, which will be heard by a judge on April 15.

The auctioneer, Darren Julien, felt vindicated after this current ruling, and he and his lawyer do not expect the other motion to get anywhere either. But the other side of the courtroom is optimistic as well – Alan Gutman, who is representing Jackson’s company (MJJ Productions), says that the ruling will “have no impact whatsoever” on the injunction motion.

It’s just like Michael Jackson to try and hawk all of his stuff off to pay his exorbitant bills, only to realize he can make all the money he needs by selling out a few shows in London’s O2 Arena, and then ask for his stuff back.

MJJ Productions actually sued Julien’s Auction House last month, because they said that Jackson hadn’t approved of the sale of items from the former Neverland Ranch. An agreement was signed by Jackson’s representative Tohme Tohme, and the dispute is over whether the contract is binding.
