virginian: The following is a link to an article by Las Vegas ReviewJournal.com about the court case status back on June 25th. Near the end is a couple of paragraphs about the NJ court case. There is no concrete info about the names involved in the suit, but it doesn't look like MJ was:

"Another twist in the case had come up by the time of that hearing: Gonzalez and the Jackson attorneys learned Universal might not even own the memorabilia.

As Universal negotiated the settlement with Jackson lawyers in May in Las Vegas, the company was involved in litigation in a New Jersey court, where several parties disputed the ownership of the items and sued Henry Vaccaro, who had sold the memorabilia to Universal.

On June 5, three days before he was ordered to turn the items over to Gonzalez, Guernsey's attorney received a letter from the Superior Court of New Jersey directing the auction house turn over all unsold items from the auction to Universal within seven days while that court continued to hear the case.

Jackson attorneys have described the New Jersey litigation as a legal scheme cooked up, with Universal's complicity, to abrogate the Las Vegas settlement agreement.

In the litigation, Vaccaro asserts he is the rightful owner of the memorabilia and had a contract to sell to Universal.

DeToffol, who did not return phone calls from the Review-Journal, assured the court that Universal was the rightful owner and was unwillingly brought into the New Jersey litigation as a defendant."
