A Seattle judge has decided that Courtney Love does not need her head examined--at least not by a court-appointed psychiatrist. Ruling on a motion filed by the two surviving members of Nirvana, Judge Robert Alsdorf wrote that Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic "provided no professional support for the proposition that plaintiff Courtney Love has recently developed any condition described in the psychiatrists' manual known as the DSM-IVR." Alsdorf also noted that requiring a mental exam would "serve no purpose other than to contribute a circus-like atmosphere" to the legal fight between Love and Grohl and Novolseilc, who are battling in King County Superior Court over control of the grunge band's legacy. Grohl and Novoselic argued that a psych exam was warranted due to a unique "incapacity" provision in a Nirvana partnership agreement. (5 pages)
