Stern Shut Down In Huge Way Over DNA

Howard K. SternHoward K. Stern lost a big one in the Bahamas today.

Stern's appeal on DNA testing was just shut down, and Howard K. was penalized by the three-judge panel to the tune of $10,000. TMZ has learned Stern was ordered to pay $5,000 in attorney's fees to the Registrar General and $5,000 to Birkhead's lawyer -- not Debra Opri, the Bahamian one.

This could clear the way for the unsealing of the DNA test results -- that should happen in court this week.

Typically, these penalties (called "sanctions") are imposed when an appeal is frivolous.

36. STERN'S APPEAL WITHDRAWN! (What I heard on CourtTV)

In open court, Stern's attorney asked for the DNA appeal to be withdrawn.

The court had said it was a FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT and they threw it out. Stern has to pay $10,000 - $5000 to the court and $5000 to Birkhead's attorneys.

Two original summons: One was Birkhead's 3-14-2007; Stern had filed his summons on the 19th. The only difference was that they requested a different lab to do the test. - So the court asked, WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?

The DNA test was done on the 21st and at 2:30 tomorrow the hearing goes forth and MAYBE they will say, at least in court, who the father is.

Of course, then Stern can start of this BS again when it comes to the question of custody.

I hope Stern does not forget that Anna wrote emails to people, such as to Gina Shelley, saying she was mad that G. Ben Thompson would not put his name on Dannielynn's birth certificate as the father (Shown on Geraldo's show). - She also wrote to Thompson in OCTOBER and demanded a DNA test and CHILD SUPPORT (shown on Greta's show).

SAVE DANNIELYNN FROM THE BABY SNATCHER!
