A federal bankruptcy judge on Wednesday rejected a proposal to hold a second auction for assets owned by Alex Jones’ right-wing conspiracy website Infowars. “We’re not doing that any more,” Judge Christopher Lopez said in a hearing in Houston’s downtown courtroom.

The ruling by a U.S. bankruptcy judge in Houston further complicates how and when Jones' bankruptcy case will be resolved and when the families he defamed will be paid.

In addition to denying the proposed deal, a federal judge told the Chapter 7 trustee that he was no longer authorized to sell Infowars' assets.
