The western portion of the Anna Nichole Smith paternity saga has picked up where it left off.
A closed hearing was held Monday in connection with the lawsuit Larry Birkhead filed against Smith earlier thiz month, demanding that she return to California with baby daughter Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern to undergo DNA and drug tests.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider kept the latest proceedings under wraps to protect the little girl's privacy.
A little late, perhaps, but a valiant effort, nonetheless. Schnider replaces Commissioner Gretchen Taylor, who removed herself frm the case last week.
In his quest to prove that he's the father of Smith's baby, born Sept. 7 in the Bahamas, Birkhead is trying to get a court order that would force his ex-girlfriend to hightail it back to the States for testing. Schnider is expected to issue a ruling Nov. 17, according to Birkhead's L.A. attorney, Debra Opri.
