Jackson drops bid to block Vegas auction

Arlan Ettinger, president of Guernsey's auction house in New York, holds an auction catalog for Michael Jackson memorabilia as he answers questions from the media outside the courtroom in Las Vegas on Friday, May 18, 2007.

LAS VEGAS - Lawyers for Michael Jackson dropped an effort Friday to block an auction of the pop star's personal belongings and other Jackson family items, including Jackson's gold record for his "Thriller" album.

Jackson did not appear in person in a Las Vegas court where his lawyer told a judge that a confidential agreement had been reached with representatives of an auctioneer, the current owner of the materials, and a New Jersey man who claimed a warehouse full of Jackson memorabilia after a failed business venture wound up in bankruptcy court.

"The matter's been resolved," Gregory Cross, a lawyer for Jackson, told Clark County District Court Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez.

Lawyers declined to describe terms of the agreement, which settled an April 27 lawsuit.

Jackson was satisfied with the settlement, his spokeswoman, Raymone Bain, said in a statement. She said some auction proceeds would go to charity, but did not specify the charities or the amount.

Jackson had sought to prevent the auction and force the return of items he claimed were personal property, court documents show. The entertainer also sought unspecified punitive damages.

Universal Express Inc., the Boca Raton, Fla., luggage transportation company that owns the items, claimed the materials were worth about $50 million, according to court records.

Arlan Ettinger, president of Guernsey's auction house of New York, said outside the courtroom that the auction will go on as scheduled May 30-31 at the Hard Rock hotel in Las Vegas.

Jackson, 48, has been living in Las Vegas while he evaluates proposals for a comeback after his 2005 acquittal in California on child molestation charges.

More than 1,000 family items are set for auction, including the handwritten lyrics for The Jackson Five hit "ABC," Jackson's platinum award for the single "Rock With You," his black silk jacket with gold sequined epaulets and a 1987 contract for the purchase of the Santa Barbara County, Calif., ranch he renamed "Neverland."

Jeffrey Sylvester, a Las Vegas lawyer for Universal, said few of the items Jackson contested were removed from the auction. He said he could not elaborate on the confidential agreement.
