BEIJING,
Aug. 8 (Xinhuanet) -- A U.S. Superior Court judge has granted the order of
restraining release of a 1994 videotape, taping a breast augmentation
surgery for Anna Nicole Smith, a former Playboy model who died of an accidental
drug overdose in Florida in February, media reported Wednesday.
Superior Court Judge Mitchell L. Beckloff issued the
order Friday at the request of Smith's former attorney and executor of her will,
Howard K. Stern.
The injunction prevents the sale, distribution or
dissemination of the videotape.
According to CelebTV.com, Stern accused Gerald Wayne
Johnson, the Texas doctor who performed the surgery, of sending a tape showing
the procedure to Thomas Riccio, a Los Angeles-based memorabilia dealer.
Stern claimed the surgery was documented
without Smith's consent.
He said Johnson's wife and Riccio would share in
any proceeds from the sale of the videotape to various media outlets.
Smith died in her hotel home at the age of 39 while
she was in the thick of a legal battle over the estate of her late husband J.
Howard Marshall II, a Texan oil baron who died in 1995.
