LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Items from O.J. Simpson’s estate will be allowed to go up for auction, a Nevada judge ruled Friday.
Simpson’s lawyer Malcolm LaVergne in June filed a request to allow some of Simpson’s personal items to go up for auction.
“Given the unique circumstances of this Estate, Mr. LaVergne believes that certain items of personal property may be more valuable than in a typical probate administration,” the filing said.
LaVergne’s lawyers said a probate judge approved the auction in a hearing Friday and said they hope to auction the items “soon.”
In the June filing, LaVergne said certain items in Simpson’s possession had unique value, given his celebrity status. Examples of the items that could go to auction included Simpson’s golf clubs, his vehicle, his driver’s license and a Heisman trophy — though it’s unclear if the trophy is real or a replica.
The ruling comes as Ron Goldman’s father, Fred Goldman, filed a claim against Simpson’s estate seeking $117 million.
Simpson died April 10 in Las Vegas after a cancer battle. He was 76.
