Dr. Conrad Murray could be temporarily off the hook in the federal wrongful death lawsuit involving Michael Jackson -- all because Joe Jackson left some key information out of the paperwork.

TMZ has learned a federal judge is taking Jackson and his attorney Brian Oxman to task for failing to specify where two of the defendants -- health clinics where Dr. Murray practiced -- conduct their business. Without that information the judge can't determine if the federal court has jurisdiction over the case.
The judge has given Jackson one week to amend the complaint or have the suit tossed.
Even if this case is dismissed, Dr. Murray might not be fully in the clear. Jackson has a lot of options -- including refiling the federal suit with Murray as the lone defendant.

Joe Jackson's wrongful death lawsuit against Dr. Conrad Murray has been filed in federal court.
According to the records department at the federal court in downtown Los Angeles, the lawsuit has officially been filed.
As TMZ first reported, Joe is suing Conrad Murray for unspecified damages in connection with the death of Michael Jackson.
In the complaint, Joe alleges Dr. Murray withheld vital information from the doctors and EMTs who were trying to save Michael's life -- specifically, information that he had administered Propofol.
UPDATE 2:10 PM PT: The federal court clerk says they just kicked the lawsuit back to Joe's attorney Brian Oxman because there's a "mistake" in the paperwork. So it will have to be refiled. Oops.
UPDATE 3:00 PM PT: Everything is in order and the lawsuit has been filed again.

i like it
Same thing I was thinking <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
The federal court clerk "kicked the lawsuit back"...just like MJ "kicked the bucket"? Kinda strange wording.
And maybe the "mistake" is there was no wrongful death because Michael is still very much alive! <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
"The judge has given Jackson one week to amend the complaint or have the suit tossed."
TMZ has now kindly linked the story you're talking about to their latest post when you click on "the complaint". <!-- m -->http://www.tmz.com/2010/06/25/joe-jacks ... ad-murray/<!-- m -->

Or maybe quite simply, Key information = MJ's not dead!
Yes that could be possible as well <!-- s
