Cher filed the petition Thursday for temporary conservatorship of Allman, citing mental health and substance abuse issues, Rolling Stone reported.

Los Angeles Superior Judge Jessica Uzcategui, however, on Friday agreed with Allman's lawyers that there was not adequate time to review the filing, which was made only 24 hours earlier, according to USA Today.

A lawyer for Cher argued in court the entertainer needed to be able to "safeguard" Allman's trust money for his own benefit. but Uzcategui denied the motion.

The singer and actress was not present in the courtroom Friday.

Cher, 77, said any money given to Allman from his trust fund was in danger of being "immediately spent on drugs."

The Grammy and Academy Award winner also said she was worried Allman would put his life at risk.

Allman, 47, appeared in the courtroom alongside his estranged wife Marieangela King. The couple filed paperwork in court Tuesday to end their divorce proceedings, USA Today reported.
