Nick Gordon may be trying to
move past the wrongful death lawsuit filed on behalf of Bobbi Kristina
Brown. Gordon's attorneys are asking a Fulton County court to dismiss
the suit, which alleges that he gave his ex-girlfriend a toxic cocktail,
and put her face down in a tub of water, according to NBC's Atlanta
affiliate.

The suit was initially filed by Brown's court-appointed conservator,
Bedelia Hargrove on June 24, and later amended upon Brown's death on
July 26. The original suit alleged that Gordon had assaulted Brown, as
well as stolen thousands of dollars, with the amended version adding in
the wrongful death allegations.

Gordon, 25, enlisted a high-powered legal team to aid in his defense,
including attorney Jose Baez, who successfully defended Casey Anthony
against first-degree murder charges in 2011. Despite his pleas to the
Brown and Houston families, Gordon was banned from attending funeral
services for Whitney Houston's 22-year-old daughter in August. He did,
however, visit her grave at a separate time.

"Nick has been heartbroken and destroyed over the loss of his love and
it's shameful that such baseless allegations have been presented
publicly," Gordon's lawyers said in a statement to ET. "Nick has engaged
civil counsel and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously and expose
it for what it is: a fictitious assault against the person who loved
Krissy most." At this time, no criminal charges have been filed against
Gordon, who is currently in Florida with his mom, Michelle. The Fulton
County D.A. told ET in August, "The case remains open and under
investigation."
