At issue is a set of Duke men's basketball season tickets that once belonged to her father, John Dorton.

Is Giovanni Ramirez innocent?
According to an announcement made by the Los Angeles Police Department, Ramirez has been exonerated of all accusations that he had a hand in the March 31 beating of Giants fan Bryan Stow at Dodger Stadium.
A reassignment to the Robbery-Homicide Division appears to have provided the department with a much-needed reevaluation of the evidence, which has also led to the arrest of two new suspects.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall has sued his ex-sponsor, Hanesbrand, the parent company of Champion. Mendenhall's Champion lawsuit comes after some questionable tweets about Osama bin Laden.
While many Americans celebrated after Osama bin Laden was killed, Mendenhall took a different approach.
He took to his Twitter account to express sympathy over the death of the al Qaeda leader, reports CBS News.
The San Mateo County District Attorney's Office has announced that it will not be charging Deshon Marman, despite being hauled in last month after a so-called saggy pants arrest.
Accused of trespassing, battery of a police officer, and obstructing officers, the University of Mexico football player was arrested at San Francisco International Airport after he repeatedly refused a US Airways' flight attendant's request to pull up his pants, which were being worn in the ubiquitous underwear-baring style.

"Sugar" Shane Mosley's divorce has just gotten a whole lot messier: Sugar Shane's championship belts? Three of them are going to his ex-wife, Jin Mosley.
The championship belt deal is part of the divorce settlement, reports TMZ. Mosley's last world title came in his knockout in 2009 against Antonio Margarito, a fight that gained him the welterweight belt. Who knows if he will end up keeping that one.
Each of Mosley's kids will get one of their dad's championship belts when they turn 18, TMZ reports. Undoubtedly, they'll be kind of a sweet memento.
The settlement, however, does not end there.
A Roger Clemens mistrial? Already?
Just two days into the federal government's perjury case against the former pitcher, Judge Reggie Walton abruptly stopped proceedings, calling attorneys to the bench and then declaring a mistrial.
Prosecutors reportedly presented evidence to the jury about one of Clemens' former teammates that Judge Walton had previously deemed inadmissible.
According to prior guidance by the IRS, there would be no Jeter ball tax if the Yankees had simply decided not to reward Christian Lopez, the fan who graciously returned the player's 3000th-hit ball last week.
But now that the life-long Yankees fan has been gifted with box seats and signed Jeter memorabilia, he may have to deal with the IRS come next tax season.
And he could owe them thousands.
Pittsburgh Steelers' Hines Ward's DUI has come at a bad time for both Ward and the NFL. And, it begs the question: what's next for Hines Ward? A NFL suspension?
Can the NFL even suspend Ward, considering that they're in the midst of a lockout?
Ward was arrested in Georgia last week, charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, reports CNN.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has incited yet another controversy, announcing that he plans to celebrate this year's Major League Baseball All-Star Game with his very own all-star chain gang.
And to prevent the appearance of "discriminating against the people here illegally in this country," he's not only employing American inmates, he's extending an olive branch to undocumented immigrants, so that they feel welcome here, too.
Lakers fans seem to be on board, and he's already launched a media blitz, appearing on ESPN's Pardon the Interruption, but the Ron Artest name change isn't yet official, as he still has to get it past the judge.
Opting for the name Metta World Peace, one can't help but wonder whether Ron Artest, who has been known for his (to put it kindly) personality fluctuations, has lost his mind.
Is the judge going to step in and save him from himself?
So the Dallas Cowboys' Roy Williams sues his ex-girlfriend, former Miss Texas Brooke Daniels. The reason? An engagement proposal that didn't go exactly the way he had planned.
Williams sent Daniels an engagement ring worth around $76,600 through the mail. The package included a recorded marriage proposal.
Apparently, an engagement proposal through mail was not exactly what Daniels had in mind for a romantic proposal, because instead of fireworks and a "happily ever after," the engagement was never accepted, reports USA Today.
Some key decisions are expected in Roger Clemens' perjury trial this week, with jury selection to start Wednesday and Judge Reggie Walton considering barring the testimony of three of the prosecution's key witnesses.
Charged with perjury and obstruction of justice for allegedly lying to Congress during an investigation into the use of steroids in professional baseball, if Clemens' defense team can successfully keep this evidence from the jury, the trial may go the way of Barry Bonds:
Not very far.
