Anna Nicole Smith's estranged mother asked an appeals court Monday to overturn a judge's decision over who controls where the starlet should be buried.
Lawyers for Virgie Arthur want the 4th District Court of Appeal to reconsider Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin's tearful ruling Thursday that gave the attorney for the centerfold's infant daughter the right to decide the burial plans. That attorney said Smith should be laid to rest next to her son in the Bahamas.
Arthur filed an emergency motion Friday asking Seidlin to reconsider, but he did not immediately rule. That prompted Monday's appeal.
Smith died in a Florida hotel Feb. 8, sparking legal disputes in Florida, California and the Bahamas. Her mother wants her buried in her native Texas.
Her funeral will not take place before Tuesday, said the court-appointed attorney for the 5-month-old daughter Dannielynn. In a news release issued Saturday, Richard C. Milstein said he was working as quickly as possible to complete the details.
