Charlie Sheen's efforts to take his ex-bosses to court have hit another hurdle.
Sheen's attorney, Martin Singer, asked for a temporary restraining order to stop arbitration proceedings because he wants the case to go to court instead. But Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Jacqueline Connor rejected his request Wednesday.
Sheen filed a $100 million suit against "Two and a Half Men" executive producer Chuck Lorre and Warner Bros. TV earlier this month after his firing from the CBS sitcom.
Earlier this month, an arbitration service said it could handle the case, over Sheen and Singer's objections.
"Despite Charlie Sheen asking for extraordinary relief to stop the arbitration, the court's ruling was not a surprise," Lorre's attorney, Howard Weitzman, said in a statement. "The judge found no 'emergency' existed and ordered Mr. Sheen's attorneys to follow normal procedure in their attempts to halt the arbitration of this dispute."
Singer has stated that he plans to go back to court on Thursday to try again, despite the judge's ruling. Singer did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
