A judge is denying Michael Jackson’s father his chance to get back at the people he blames for the pop star’s death. Joe Jackson’s wrongful death lawsuit against concert promoter AEG and Dr. Conrad Murray has been thrown out of court. TMZ says a judge decided to dismiss the Jackson family patriarch’s suit because his wife, Katherine, had
already filed a similar one. The judge explained that there can’t be two suits alleging the exact same thing, and since Katherine filed her suit first it will remain in court.

AEG is the promoter that was behind Michael Jackson’s ill-fated 50-show run at London’s O2 Arena. Dr. Conrad Murray is currently serving a four-year sentence for providing the pop icon with the anesthetic propofol, which contributed to his sudden passing on June 25th, 2009.
