Michael Jackson has returned to Indianapolis, Indiana, for a second attempt at giving a court-ordered deposition in a copyright lawsuit. Judge Philip Simon ordered Jackson to return by Friday after the 44-year-old Bad singer fell ill before he could give a deposition there on May 21. Jackson was briefly hospitalized, but was released about two hours later and returned home to Los Angeles. Simon had ordered Jackson to give testimony in a lawsuit alleging that the Jackson 5 used the name of another Gary, Indiana, band and two of their songs without license. Gordon Keith, who signed the Jackson 5 to his Steeltown Records in 1967, and musician Elvy Woodard have accused Michael, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon Jackson of infringing on the trade name Ripples & Waves, which was the name of another Gary, Indiana, band during the 1960s.
