Posted Feb 4th 2010 5:57PM by TMZ Staff
Lawyers for Michael Jackson's estate have filed legal papers opposing Joe Jackson's attempt to get his son's UCLA medical records -- records Joe wants in order to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
Estate lawyers say there are three reasons why Joe is not entitled to medical records.
1. Joe was not a dependent of Michael Jackson and therefore not legally entitled to sue for the wrongful death of his son.

3. There is a physician-patient privilege that bars Joe from getting the medical records.
