Michael Jackson Files Lawsuit Against Auction House

The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, has filed a lawsuit against Julien's Auction House to stop them from selling thousands of his personal possessions.

According to the AP, Jackson's company, MJJ Productions, filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court stating the founder of Julien's Auction House, Darren Julien, had "effectively stolen Michael Jackson's personal property" and refused to return any of the items. Julien promised Jackson an inventory of all his belongings. However, Jackson did not give the founder permission to do so.

The lawsuit states that many of his possessions are "priceless and irreplaceable" and Julien's attempt to sell them is "malicious, fraudulent, extreme, outrageous and without any legal justification whatsoever."

Julien's Web site says this is a "Once in a Lifetime Auction." The bidding was supposed to take place on April 22-25 in Beverly Hills, Calif. The five-day auction featured 2,000 of Jackson's personal items.

A few of the items up for bid are arcade games, paintings, furniture, a customized Harley Davidson, platinum records and his iconic glove.

The AP reported that within the court documents it stated Jackson's items are to be removed from the Neverland Ranch and cannot be sold without Jackson's permission.
