JACKSONVILLE, FL -- There are new developments in the birth battle between an Orlando-area couple and a surrogate mother on the First Coast. On Thursday, a judge denied a motion to stay an earlier ruling in the case.

Tom Lamitina and his wife hired Stephanie Eckard over the Internet to be their surrogate. She decided to keep the baby.

Last month, the judge ruled that under Florida law, Lamitina is merely a sperm donor and not the baby's father. The lamitinas have appealed the ruling. Their lawyer said that he also plans to file a civil case against Eckard.
