Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Alan Goodman decided on Wednesday that the lawsuit must settle in arbitration between the parties. Sheen’s lawyer, Marty Singer, tried to push for a public trial but Sheen’s contract with the show stipulated that lawsuits must be handled in arbitration, the judge further ruled that whether the arbitration will be private or public is a matter for the arbitrator to decide.
Warner Bros. released a statement that said “We’re very gratified by the court’s ruling enforcing the parties’ arbitration agreement” The lawsuit was filed just ten days after Sheen was fired from the television show.
