A California appeals court rejected Joe Jackson's bid Tuesday to challenge the administration of his son's estate. A three-justice panel of the California Second District Court of Appeal unanimously ruled that Joe Jackson has no legal standing.

X17online spoke with Mr. Jackson as he left the courthouse earlier today. The troubled parent told us the following:

    "They are just trying to sweep everything under the rug."


There has been a history of frustration between Joe Jackson and the two attorneys, John McClain and John Branca, who are currently in control of Michael Jackson's Estate.

Mr. Jackson not named in his son's 2002 will and therefore has no standing to object to McClain or Branca. Joe Jackson's lawyer Brian Oxman has adamantly maintained in various court filings that Michael Jackson was in New York City at the time the 2002 will was signed in Los Angeles, and therefore this will should not be considered as a valid document.

Oxman also maintains that both Branca and McClain have been hostile to Mr. Jackson since his son's untimely death.
