Court orders Simpson's companies to turn over money

BEVERLY HILLS, California (CNN) -- The parents of Ronald Goldman won a small victory against O.J. Simpson Monday when a judge ordered that two of Simpson's corporations turn over to Goldman's father and mother any payments intended for the former football star.

But the victory may not mean much because the corporations, Orenthal Productions Inc. and Pigskins Inc., have little or no money and are not expecting any major infusions of money.

Also Monday, the judge ordered that any payments made by the parents of Nicole Brown Simpson to O.J. Simpson in repayment of a $300,000 loan also be given to Goldman's parents, Fred Goldman and Sharon Rufo.

Simpson holds a note against the home of Lou and Juditha Brown as collateral for the loan he made prior to his ex-wife's death. Attorneys conceded that no payments are being made by the Browns and probably will never be made because of their multi-million dollar judgment against Simpson.

Simpson was acquitted of killing his ex-wife and Goldman in a 1994 knife attack, but a civil jury this year found him responsible for their deaths.
