Carrie Fisher is headed to court next May.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge this week refused a request from the star to remove her name from an ongoing wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of a 21-year-old woman named Amy Breliant, who fatally overdosed in 2010.
The actress, who celebrated her 60th birthday last week, failed to 'meet her burden to establish that she cannot be found responsible' in the court proceedings, Judge Laura A.

Matz said Monday in court papers, as first reported by.

That, according to court docs, in essence proves that the Catastrophe actress was working with Boyd.

The late woman's mother, Gianna Breliant, said that Boyd burdened her with expensive - around $222,000 - and inadequate treatment for her late daughter's drug battle.
Breliant claimed in court docs that some of Boyd's tactics were against the law, though Boyd has said he did nothing wrong in the case.

He said that 'Boyd used Carrie Fisher's celebrity status as one of the instruments by which he conducted his fraudulent drug rehabilitation practice that we believe led to Amy's death.'
'We believe the evidence will show this was nothing short of his greed-driven fraud scheme designed to make money and keep clients hooked on deadly drugs, resulting in Amy's tragic death.'
