Both the plaintiffs and the defendants are a star-studded list in a lawsuit filed over a gated road between upscale two communities near Beverly Hills.

Among the plaintiffs are Samuel Jackson and Earvin "Magic" Johnson, reports the Los Angeles Times. The defendants include Barry Bonds, Reba McEntire, Eddie Murphy, Sylvester Stallone and Denzel Washington.

At issue is whether the North Beverly Park Homeowners Association had a right to restrict road access to nonresidents of South Beverly Park, after decades of not doing so.

While residents have not been directly inconvenienced, their contractors, nannies and gardeners, among others, have had no choice but to take lengthy detours, according to the newspaper article.
