(CNN) The burial of Atatiana Jefferson, who was fatally shot by a Fort Worth police officer, has been delayed after her father was granted a temporary restraining order, according to court records. Police arrived at her house while she was with her 8-year-old nephew because a neighbor called the police to express concern about her open front door. But Dallas County Judge Brenda Hull Thompson signed an order Friday saying that Marquis A. Jefferson, whom a death certificate lists as Atatiana Jefferson's father, has full authority to make arrangements for her funeral and burial. Marquis Jefferson, who sought the restraining order so he could be included in the arrangements, is planning his daughter's funeral for Thursday instead, Bruce Carter, a spokesman for the family, told reporters Friday night. Despite the legal action, Carter said Jefferson has a good relationship with his daughter's mother and siblings, who use the last name Carr.
