A Nevada judge is behind closed doors reviewing warrant documents in the Michael Jackson investigation before deciding whether to unseal them.

Clark County District Court Judge Valerie Adair said Tuesday she’ll decide after seeing the documents whether to release affidavits relating to searches of a Las Vegas pharmacy and of Michael Jackson’s personal physician’s home, office and storage unit.

Police investigating the pop singer’s death oppose releasing any new information.

A Los Angeles police detective and prosecutor also are involved in the review.

Lawyers for The Associated Press and other media want documents made public relating to searches in the case.

Dr. Conrad Murray’s properties in Las Vegas were searched July 28, and a pharmacy where authorities say he legally bought the powerful sedative propofol was searched Aug. 11.
