A California federal judge refused Friday to further consider an adversary proceeding initiated by Empire Land LLC’s bankruptcy trustee against a new iteration of the real estate developer, finding the action is better suited to the bankruptcy court where related litigation is in progress. Correction: An earlier version of this story named O’Melveny & Myers LLP as a defendant in the adversary proceeding when in fact all claims against O’Melveny were dismissed in 2012. The error has been corrected.
