Court rejects Jamie McCourt's appeal

LOS ANGELES -- A California appellate court has rejected a bid by the ex-wife of former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt to toss out a divorce agreement because the team sold for more than $2 billion.

The 2nd District Court of Appeal in Los Angeles on Tuesday rejected Jamie McCourt's contentions that the agreement that paid her $131 million should be set aside because her ex-husband didn't provide accurate estimates of the team's value.

The unanimous opinion found no basis to overturn the agreement or a lower court's ruling that Jamie McCourt wasn't credible when she testified that her ex-husband misled her about the Dodgers' value.

Jamie McCourt filed for divorce in October 2009, and the pair reached a financial agreement in late 2011.
