Nicollette Sheridan's 'Desperate Housewives' Lawsuit Put on Ice

Update: Sheridan hasn't give up hope yet. The actress's lawyer Mark Bauterecently told The Hollywood Reporterthat despite the appeal court's indefinite stay on the case, he is planning to fight to keep the retrial on track.

He released the following statement:

"The order reflects the court of appeals' desire to have the September 10 trial focus on the Labor Code Section 6310 claim. The reference to amendment in the order is designed to ensure that happens and the September 10 trial date remains intact. This will all become clearer as the briefs are filed later this summer. It does not change the trial or the trial date, and the temporary stay is designed to clarify and resolve those issues before the September trial starts. It would be foolish for the media to believe that an order which expressly states that the Labor Code 6310 claim should be added means anything more than that, especially at this point. We will file our briefs and move forward accordingly."
