A judge has refused to suspend the medical licence of the doctor charged over Michael Jackson's death.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor made his rulingyesterday , declining a request by Californian authorities to suspend Dr Conrad Murray from practising medicine in the state.

Murray's lawyers 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 anaesthetics 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 anaesthetic propofol last June. He has pleaded not guilty.
