LOS ANGELES, July 29 (Xinhua) -- Michael Jackson's mother has reportedly filed court papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court, accusing the temporary administrators of the pop icon's estate of keeping her in the dark about the state of his affairs.

Katherine Jackson's filing Tuesday is the latest sign that a battle is brewing over control of Jackson's music empire, the Los Angeles Times said on Wednesday.

Her attorneys urged a judge to order the administrators, two longtime associates of her son, to submit to depositions and turn over a slew of documents, including the contract that controlled Jackson's planned comeback concert series, the paper said.
