In Soundgarden's ongoing court battle with Chris Cornell's widow, Vicky Cornell, the surviving band members -- Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Hunter Benedict Shepherd -- have asked a judge to either dismiss her Florida case against them or to move it to Washington state. The trio are locked in a dispute with Vicky Cornell over Chris Cornell's last recordings, arguing that they worked jointly on these final tracks with late lead singer -- what they are calling the"final Soundgarden album" -- and that Vicky has no right to withhold them.

The band members raised their allegations against Vicky Cornell in court papers filed in U.S. District Court in Florida on Monday, responding to a federal lawsuit she brought against them in December. Vickey Cornell has accused the band members of trying to "strong-arm" her into turning over seven unreleased audio recordings by withholding royalties and claimed the band has no legal rights to the recordings, which she says were "solely authored" by Chris Cornell and bequeathed to his estate for her and their children's benefit.

In the new motion, the band claims that Vicky Cornell should not have filed her lawsuit in Florida, arguing that despite her claim that she and Cornell "permanently moved to Miami," she actually lives in New York and that her claimed residence in Florida is only a South Beach condo, which is also the principal residence of her mother and brother. The members also argue that there is no evidence that Chris Cornell did any relevant recording work in Florida or that the band has had any substantial contact with Florida. They note that because Vicky can’t show Florida has jurisdiction in the case, it should either be dismissed or transferred to Washington.
