 Charles Casillo alleged that Charles Busch (qv) had plagiarized  his 1989 play "One Night Stand In A Lonely Hotel" and a temporary  restraining order was issued ordering that he be given credit for  the story and play. On 7 November 2003, a judge ruled that there  were "no substantial similarities of protectible expression" between  the play and the film and ordered that the injunction be removed,  and that Busch be given sole credit for the film.
