Jackson dropped from Marian lawsuit
By Times Staff
Pop star Michael Jackson is no longer named as a defendant in a lawsuit that alleged intentional infliction of emotional and mental distress by Jackson, Marian Medical Center and Catholic Healthcare West.
The suit was filed by the family of a Santa Maria woman who died at the hospital in February 2005.
Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville granted a demurrer today that was filed by Jackson’s attorney, Timothy Gorry, of Los Angeles.
Allegations remained against the hospital.
The lawsuit also alleges elder abuse against 73-year-old Manuela Gomez Ruiz on the part of the hospital, which according to the complaint moved Ruiz while she was being treated to make space for Jackson to be examined when he was brought to the hospital in 2005.
Ruiz died at Marian Medical Center shortly after she was reportedly moved to another hospital room to make room for Jackson.

Dance contestant won’t be deterred from dreams
Entertainer Rhiannon Villareal is what’s known in the showbiz industry as “a triple threat”.
The talented 19-year-old dance teacher from Sydney can sing, dance and act.
But her multiple talents were not enough to keep her in the running on Channel Ten’s So You Can Think You Can Dance program this week.
However her tearful elimination from the show will not deter her from her dream of becoming a Janet Jackson or Jennifer Lopez of the future.
“I’m just so grateful to have been a part of the show and making it into the top eight,” she said.
Rhiannon said her experience on the show was a huge step towards achieving her goal of securing a recording contract.
She started dancing when she was only two and hasn’t stopped performing since.
“I can’t actually believe I did dance classes at that age,” she said.
Rhiannon did most of her training at the Brent Street Talent Development High School and performed on several popular television programs as a dancer before appearing on So You Think You Can Dance.
She was even part of Michael Jackson’s HIStory tour in 1996 when she got to hand the megastar a rose as part of the act and he kissed her on the forehead.
Rhiannon said she would like to see either Kate Wormald or Graham Isaako go on and win the competition, which is down to its last five contestants.
“I just think they bring something different to the show,” she said.
