A Los Angeles judge on Wednesday lifted an order that kept Anna Nicole Smith’s body from being buried, saying that DNA required for a legal battle over her baby daughter had already been obtained.

Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider ruled last week that Smith’s body be preserved until a February 20 hearing into paternity claims by the model’s ex-boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, one of several men who say they fathered her 5-month-old daughter.

A Florida judge earlier on Wednesday said he would abide by that order and hold Smith’s body in a morgue there.
