Follow-up on John G. Kenedy Jr.

Last September I blogged about an attempt to re-open the estate of Texas rancher John G. Kenedy Jr.  Mr. Kenedy's estate was closed many years ago, but Ray Fernandez (the grandson of Mr. Kenedy's maid) sought to reopen the estate, to try and prove that his mother was Mr. Kenedy's daughter.  According to this article from the Washington Post, state District Judge Manuel Banales has denied Mr. Fernandez's request.
