NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal judge’s ruling Friday hasn’t resolved a family’s bitter struggle for control of Brennan’s, one of New Orleans’ best-known restaurants.

U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan ruled that Owen “Pip” Brennan, a son of the restaurant’s late founder, is a shareholder in Brennan’s Inc. She upheld his right to vote those shares even though he agreed to sell them in 2010 in a settlement with a competing faction of family members.
