Judge’s Disqualification in Pooh Case Is Denied

Share

An Orange County Superior Court judge has denied a family’s request to disqualify the judge who ended the long-running Winnie the Pooh royalties lawsuit earlier this year in favor of Walt Disney Co.

The family who holds merchandising rights to Winnie the Pooh requested in May that Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charles W. McCoy’s decision in favor of Disney be reversed because of alleged bias.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Nancy Wieben Stock on Monday rejected the family’s arguments as without merit. An attorney for the Slesinger family could not be reached late Wednesday.
