- LOS ANGELES: Michael Jackson's doctor is fighting new efforts by California's attorney general to suspend his medical license in the state.
Dr. Conrad Murray's lawyer filed papers Friday opposing the suspension effort and accusing prosecutors of renewing an old motion before a new judge, hoping for a different result.
Another judge declined to suspend Murray's license but ordered him not to administer anesthetics. The powerful anesthetic propofol was blamed in Jackson's death a year ago.
Attorney Ed Chernoff argued that restriction is sufficient and noted Murray does not practice in California.
Murray has a hearing Monday in his involuntary manslaughter case. The medical license issue is expected to dominate proceedings.
