Judge won't lift Kenedy case order
Request for judgment to be heard next week

District Judge J. Manuel Banales refused to lift a temporary restraining order Wednesday in a case that seeks to reopen the estate of South Texas rancher John G. Kenedy Jr.
Banales had issued the order Friday to block attorneys from taking action in any other courts. Attorneys have said they would like to have the case transferred to a probate court in Austin.
For more than four years, Nueces County Medical Examiner Ray Fernandez has sought to prove that his mother, Ann, is Kenedy's biological daughter. Part of his legal battle has focused on reopening Kenedy's estate.
In a separate move, Fernandez also has sought to have Kenedy's body exhumed to obtain a DNA sample that could prove a relation. The Texas Supreme Court is considering whether to let stand a lower court's ruling to allow the exhumation.
Kenedy died in 1948 with no children, and assets from his estate fund a variety of religious charities and secular organizations, including the Roman Catholic Diocese of Corpus Christi. Those assets are controlled by the John G. and Marie Stella Kenedy Memorial Foundation and the John G. Kenedy Jr. Charitable Trust.
Fernandez has said his fight is about determining the truth about his lineage, and the case isn't about drawing money away from charities.
Next week, attorneys for the Fernandez family and for the Kenedy estate will appear in Sarita to argue a request for summary judgment filed by the estate. If summary judgement is granted, the case will be closed.

Power stronger than blood
Power is stronger than either blood or the truth. Why is it that a claim to the Kenedy estate is blocked again and again?

Does that seem right to you?

Ray Fernandez & his wifey Marie are not in it for the Blood relation. As I understand they have been offered 20 million to settle. I found DNA that proves not only Ann Matilde is Johnny's daughter but in fact there are other heirs as well.
If they would have remained loyal to the ones who opened the doors (really kicked down the doors) like El Defenzor, my wife & myself then they would not be having these problems. 10 million has been alotted for exclusive expenditure by the high dollar attorneys and super lawyers. These guys are spending it real fast.
For a look into the advocacy and the plight of the Fernandez Cause one can visit kenedyranch.net
Also there is the suspicious death of Catherine D Unger still under investigation. Catherine was aware of the other outstanding heirs as well. This means Ann is not the sole heir as court documents claim.
Another thing might be Marie Fernandez' inept attempts at staining the image of the Judge Manuel Banales. She calls herself many names but in her feeble attempts to smear a sitting Judge she is afraid of she calls herself the Coroner's wife. She also claims "if she has a dream you are going to die then you are going to die" .
These people do not deserve Justice for Ann as Ann will never realize it. The Fernandez' never even had anything to do with Ann until they learned of the Blood relationship.
Ray Fernandez is a puppet of his wife Marie Nelly Mae Stacy Fernandez and she is the definition of a gold digger.

The Fernandez' already have the DNA proving Ann is John G Kenedy's daughter.
They want lots and lots of Dinero.
It is not about family or blood relation as Fernandez Claims it is all about lots and lots of money.
One would think $20 million would suffice and ya lets move on with life but nooooooo. Marie Fernandez will not stop until she is the Cavrona Patrona of no one and Queen Oppressor of all.
I know these people like the back of my hand. They are not good people while Marie is controlling the ME!
Ray himself is not a bad guy but his heart follows a no good woman's greed. MARIE HAS NOW EMPLOYED THE BLACK ARTS IN THE QUEST.

Why do they need to exhume the body for DNA, then, if they already have it?

They have this DNA as an ACE card. Both sides are forum shopping.
I found Johnny's DNA on a stamp from title (land transfer) to Jaime Waters.
If they dig up the body it still will not prove conclusively without confirmation of Sarita or John Sr or Marie Stella.
Also, Marie Fernandez swiped medical records and court documents that can never be official; but does prove TO THEM that they have a legitimate fight.
The expedient Attorneys are not expedient for their client in this case. They have 10 million to suck dry first.
Marie Fernandez does not want anybody to share the pot of gold as in contingency but Surprise Craig Smith already does!
