Doc refuses to answer subpoena about why he gave Michael Jackson clean bill of health

An elusive New York doctor is refusing to answer a subpoena about the clean bill of health he gave Michael Jackson just months before the pop icon died, according to a suit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Concert promoter AEG Live hired Dr. David Slavit to conduct a physical examination of the singer before his 2009 "This is It" series of performances in London for insurance purposes.

The pop icon's family is suing the concert promoter for pushing him to perform despite his failing health.

Based in Los Angeles, AEG claims that Slavit has repeatedly dodged giving a deposition about his suspect appraisal of Jackson's health and refused to release medical records since April of last year.

The company wants a judge to finally force the New York-based doctor to comply with the subpoena so that the wrongful death suit can proceed.

Phone calls to lawyers for AEG Live and Slavit weren't returned.

The judge already ordered Murray to testify although he might not say anything. I guess this will probably happen to this doctor.

Lets hope for something good..
