DOCUMENTS: Dr. Arnold Klein Sues The Medical Board Of California

Jackson's doctor to the stars is under investigation by the medical board because of large amounts of controlled substances that Klein gave the King of Pop.

Dr. Klein is asking a judge to order the medical board to provide him with documentation about why he was ordered to see a mental health professional and be tested for illegal drugs. The docs state, "Dr. Klein again reiterated his willingness to comply with the order -- provided he first have an opportunity to assure that it was in fact lawfully issued, and for good reason, as provided by enabling legislation. For that, there needs to be transparency."
