BAMBERG, S.C. (AP) -- A South Carolina judge has denied a request
to reconsider a court-approved settlement agreement over how to
parcel out James Brown's wealth.

Law clerk Carra Henderson said Judge Jack Early ruled Tuesday
that his previous decision approving the settlement would stand,
but hasn't filed an official order.

Former trustees Adele Pope and Robert Buchanan argued that the
settlement left out key parties.

The settlement gives nearly half of Brown's assets to a
charitable trust, about a quarter to his wife and young son, and
the rest to Brown's adult children

A federal case over Brown's estate is pending and Pope and
Buchanan can also appeal Tuesday's ruling.
