The legal fight over the ownership of medical items used on Elvis Presley may be coming to an end. The Delaware Supreme Court is upholding a ruling in favor of California businessman Richard Long, who, along with his business partners, purchased the collection from Presley's personal physician, Dr. George Nichopolous, last year for $1 million.

The collection of memorabilia includes a black doctor's bag containing Presley's prescription bottles, a glass device reportedly used to irrigate the singer's sinuses, jewelry, guns and a laryngeal scope used to examine Presley's throat.

Long put up the money and alleged in his lawsuit that Gallagher and Franklin refused to surrender access to the items, and would not provide the paperwork needed to obtain insurance.

In July, Gallagher and Franklin repeatedly failed to appear in court and ignored court orders, so a default judgment was made, holding the two in contempt and giving Long authority to dissolve the partnership and sell the collection. The Supreme Court turned down Gallagher's appeal on Tuesday.
