LOS ANGELES (AP) - A judge has refused to suspend the California
medical license of the doctor charged in Michael Jackson's death.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor made his ruling
Monday, declining a request by California authorities to suspend
the ability of Dr. Conrad Murray to practice medicine in the state.
Murray's attorneys fought the restriction, arguing that it would
prompt authorities in Texas and Nevada to take similar action.
Murray operates clinics in both states, which have ordered him
not to use anesthetics on his patients.
California authorities sought the suspension after Murray was
charged with involuntary manslaughter in February.
Murray is accused of giving the pop star a lethal dose of the
anesthetic propofol last June. He has pleaded not guilty.
