daughter Frances Bean Cobain.
A court filing shows the only daughter of Kurt Cobain and
Courtney Love has been placed in a temporary guardianship.
The filing states Cobain's mother Wendy O'Connor and his
sister Kimberly Dawn Cobain are now caring for the
17-year-old daughter.
The filings do not mention Love or give a reason for the
guardianship.
A three-page order issued on Friday is all that is publicly
available.
Attorney Geraldine Wyle, who is handling the case for the
mother and sister, calls it a private family matter and said
no other comment would be issued.
An e-mail message to Love's publicist Alan Nierob seeking
comment was not immediately returned Monday.
The court order, which is valid until February, grants
Cobain's mother and sister no control over a trust
established by the Nirvana frontman for his daughter.
The guardianship was first reported by TMZ.com.
