The special administrator of late billionaire Howard Hughes California estate won summary judgment removing Los Angeles County Public Administrator Bruce Altman from probate matters. Judge Neil Lake halted Altman’s petition to remove the administrator and canceled a December hearing. Richard Gano, the cousin of Hughes, leads the estate, arguing Summa Corp stock is not personal property under the special administrator. Gano, 60, of Anaheim, was appointed after Hughes died on April 14.
