Priscilla Presley won a round in court when a judge ruled that one of two of her former business associates she is suing for elder abuse, and that former associate’s husband, will remain defendants in her lawsuit alleging she was bilked out of more than $1 million.

The ruling by Santa Monica Superior Court Judge Mark H. Epstein comes two months after the judge denied a similar motion by investor Kevin Fialko to quash the summons served on him. Fialko maintained he is a Tennessee resident, that there is an ongoing case against Presley in Florida and that he has no ties to California, therefore barring a California judge from having personal jurisdiction over him.

On Thursday, the judge ruled that Florida-based memorabilia auctioneer Brigitte Kruse and her husband, Vahe Sislyan, also will stay in the case as defendants. Both contended that they were not properly served and that California lacks personal jurisdiction over them.

“Having considered the evidence properly before the court, the court finds that there is sufficient evidence to establish that defendants were properly served and that California has jurisdiction over them for purposes of this case,” the judge wrote. “The motion is therefore denied.”

In her suit filed last July 18, Presley, the 79-year-old former wife of Elvis Presley, alleges Kruse and Fialko engaged in a scheme to separate her from her long-time advisers so as to defraud her out of more than $1 million.

The alleged plan of action included forming various entities under Florida law even though Presley lives in California.

  1. Here is your biggest fucking problem with Elvis Presley you don’t know what the fuck is going on and you have no clue to pay attention to the fucking information that is.
    I’m not real sure how it happened but seeing that it happened it happened!! George Randolph John Crow Senior was born in 1934 and during his time he enlisted in the Marines and served with James Duvall Lovett, Elvis Presley and many many more and I believe that I was heisted away from my family by George Randolph John Crow senior and his family and I was thrown into a family so that they could steal all the money away from my family. My name is Christopher Thomas Campbell according to the records today it states that I was born on December 25th 1970 at which time if you go back and look John Clark Gable Jr stated that he was Christopher Thomas Campbell somewhere in 76. And changed it back to John Clark Gable Jr so that they could steal all the funding away from me since the money was left to Christopher Thomas Campbell at the Clark Gable Foundation for Elvis Presley’s biological son! I’ve Saved all kinds of People all over the United States beautiful people everywhere in the world, and most of them I still have to worry about them being slaughtered by these people because they can’t stand anybody coming around me and finding out who I am or where I came from because it would cost them the money that they’ve stolen away from me and I’m talking about 900 million dollars all funneled into a law enforcement. Industry in the state of Florida, Texas, California because they had to steal it away from it they stated: It was for Restitution!!! Never committed any crimes it would cost $900 million. So in essence it’s just fraud, everything is fraud!! I wasn’t born A specific way for a Reason By God! But had to cut it out because of Man’s mistakes. I was labeled in my record that way I was born further ahead so when the prosecution came to me to send me to the Dozier I was already older than what I was is the reason that I survived. I live my life trying to make sense of it all and trying to inform people all my life and nothing’s been ever done I’ve been sent away because I’m transgender I Was Born this Way and here you are treating me differently because I’m not like you but we’re all alike there is no man on this planet born a man for every man on this planet was born a female before natural selection and came along and made him a male. So that means every man on this planet is transgender at Birth! So I’m asking for my rights back in all my all my history of my family’s money as well as all my inheritance money
