LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has ruled Anna Nicole Smith's former beau and two doctors will be tried on numerous felony drug charges, officials said.

Lawyer Howard K. Stern, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor are accused of illegally providing the former Playboy model with copious amounts of drugs before she died in 2007 of combined drug intoxication at the age of 36.

"All the defendants have been held to answer on all counts and will stand trial except for (prescribing placebos,)" court spokeswoman Vania Stuelp told E! News Friday.

The trio is to be tried for a combined 22 drug-related felony charges, the entertainment news program said on its Web site.

The next court date in the case is scheduled for Dec. 11.
