UNDATED (CNN) -- A judge has tentatively ruled a lawsuit accusing a concert promoter of contributing to Michael Jackson's death can go to trial.
The wrongful death lawsuit was filed by Jackson's three children and his mother, against his concert promoter AEG Live.
The judge has ordered Doctor Conrad Murray to meet with Jackson lawyers next month for a deposition.
Lawyers for Jackson's children contends Murray was hired and supervised by AEG Live executives, and that they were negligent in hiring Murray.
Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's 2009 death.
The wrongful death trial is set for April.
