A judge has once again has rejected a lawsuit by original Beach Boys member Al Jardine against two of his ex-bandmates. Jardine, the band’s lead guitarist, rejected Jardine’s claim, saying that issues raised in his state court lawsuit were addressed in a previous federal lawsuit that was dismissed. The judge allowed Jardine to amend and refile the complaint but rejected it again yesterday (July 11).
Jardine’s attorney, Jeffrey Benice, said he’s still appealing the federal court ruling and plans to appeal the superior court’s rejection.Copyright 2002 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
