   A woman seeking to be declared the daughter of Vernon Presley - and the   
   half-sister of Elvis - plans to drop her effort to be named as an heir to   
   the father's estate, a judge was told this morning.   
      
   Eliza Presley, 46, a divorced mother of four from Washington state, filed   
   the claim in October saying DNA from a still-living Elvis Presley showed her   
   to be a relative.   
      
   This morning in Probate Court, however, an attorney for the estate announced   
   to Judge Karen Webster that Eliza Presley's attorney had advised him that   
   she planned to have the case voluntarily dismissed.   
      
   No reason was given and Eliza Presley's attorney, Kathleen Caldwell, was not   
   in court.   
      
   Caldwell could not be reached this morning, but estate attorney William   
   Bradley Jr. told the court that Caldwell had informed him of her intention   
   to have the case dropped.   
      
   Bradley, who represents Elvis Presley Enterprises and Lisa Marie Presley   
   Lockwood, said outside of court he would have no comment until the case is   
   formally dismissed.   
      
   Eliza Presley, who changed her name this summer from Alice Elizabeth Tiffin,   
   also was not in court.   
      
   Her mother, former Memphian Florence Sharp Clark of Oregon, has said she was   
   part of the Elvis social circle for a period, but that she had no child by   
   Vernon. Clark said her daughter appears to have undergone plastic surgery in   
   an effort to resemble Presley.
