Court battle over Dodgers continues

Los Angeles -- The couple battling over ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers failed to settled their differences in a marathon mediation settlement, a court officer says.

Allan Parachini, public information officer for the Los Angeles Superior Court, said Frank and Jamie McCourt did not plan to negotiate during the weekend, the Los Angeles Times reported. The couple and their lawyers spent 10 hours at the courthouse Friday.

The couple's divorce trial enters its third week Monday.

Frank McCourt argues he is the sole owner of the National League baseball team, based on a 2004 agreement. Jamie McCourt argues the agreement is invalid and that the Dodgers are community property.

If Jamie McCourt wins, the team would probably be sold.
