Epstein dismissed the argument by Kruse, Kruse’s husband, and Fialko, who said that Presley’s elder abuse claims against them should be placed on hold while they pursue a separate breach of contract lawsuit against her in Florida.The defendants argued that fighting a lawsuit in California while simultaneously pursuing their previously filed claims against Presley in Florida would be “extraordinarily inconvenient.”Epstein said he considered the argument, “yet another in what seems to be a never-ending series of motions … to move this case out of California and into Florida.” He also rebuffed the claim that Presley signed contracts that agreed to litigate disputes in Florida.“This is not really a contract-based case at its heart; it is a fraud case,” Epstein wrote in his ruling.
