A judge has delayed ruling on Joe Jackson's request to receive son Michael's medical records.

The AP reports that Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff will issue a ruling next week after he is able to review arguments entered by Joe Jackson's attorney.

Jackson wants the records to determine whether or not he'll mount a wrongful death suit, and also to try to persuade the judge to grand him a monthly stipend.

Jackson's estate is trying to prevent Joe from getting his hands on the records.
