BENTON – In courts of three states, father John Kenneth Coil and son John Altaire Coil both claim full ownership of Dr. John’s adult boutique in Wood River.
Senior U.S. District Judge Phil Gilbert stayed their proceedings in his court on March 1, until another court determines ownership.
Gilbert found his abstention was appropriate to conserve scarce judicial resources and provide a comprehensive dispensation of litigation.
Father John and son John portray each other as crooks on a grand scale.
In January 2019, John Altaire sued John Kenneth in Dallas County, Texas.
He sought to block his father’s sale of property on Anaheim Drive in Dallas, alleging fraud, gross negligence, and breach of fiduciary duty, and seeking direct recovery under Texas business organization code.
