The singer has been living in Bahrain. But the suit against him was filed in Santa Maria, the city where he stood trial last year.
The plaintiff, Martin Dinnes, owner of Dinnes Memorial Veterinary Hospital in Santa Clarita, alleges that Jackson owes $91,602 in veterinary bills. His lawyer, Brenton Horner, said Dinnes helped the singer acquire animals for his zoo including flamingos, giraffes, elephants and orangutans. Dinnes continues to treat the animals on a regular basis, the attorney said.
"He filed this (lawsuit) with great reluctance," Horner told the Santa Maria Times. "He has a lot of admiration for Michael. This is just a business matter."
A hearing was set for May 2.
Jackson lawyer Thomas Mesereau Jr., who now handles all of Jackson's litigation, said, "I have not seen the complaint and cannot comment until we evaluate the situation."

New Molestation Suit
Wild allegations against Jackson
By TMZ.COM STAFF
(Jan 12) -- TMZ has obtained a
lawsuit filed by a man who claims Michael Jackson molested him, gave him drugs, alcohol and forced him to undergo unnecessary cosmetic surgery.
The plaintiff in this bizarre suit, claims Jackson "repeatedly and forcefully" sexually molested him from 1987 (when he was two years old) until, "on or about December 21, 1999," at locations that were "owned, leased or rented by defendants." Other defendants in the case include various divisions of Sony Music (Jackson's label). The plaintiff accuses Sony of conspiring with Jackson and allowing the alleged acts to occur.
The suit claims the molestation includes "Michael Jackson sticking his tongue down plaintiff's throat, masturbating plaintiff, and anally penetrating plaintiff by force."
The suit, filed in Orange County Superior Court, claims the plaintiff, now 20 years old, has suffered "severe mental and emotional distress, anguish, anxiety, fear, discomfort, psychological maladjustment, anger and grief..." The man claims he has undergone medical and psychiatric treatment as a result of the alleged misdeeds.
The plaintiff claims Jackson committed a battery by giving him "drugs and alcohol, subjecting plaintiff to unnecessary cosmetic surgery procedures, striking plaintiff, burning plaintiff, torturing plaintiff, and beating plaintiff..." The lawsuit also claims, "on or about December 21, 1999, Jackson beat his mother." The December 21 date is when all of the alleged misconduct stopped.
Finally, the lawsuit claims Jackson and Sony stole the plaintiff's song ideas and lyrics.
Lisa Mattern, a lawyer for the plaintiff, told TMZ that the boy's father knew Michael Jackson even before his son was born. For a time, the father booked entertainers, including psychics, for parties at Neverland. Mattern says her client's dad would take the boy to Neverland. Eventually, she says, the boy began travelling extensively with Jackson. Mattern says her client has photos to prove he was frequently with the singer. Matern says on December 21, 1999, there was an explosive confrontation between Jackson and her client's mother. She says during that confrontation, Jackson physically attacked the mom.
Jackson was acquitted on criminal charges of child molestation last year. Jackson's lawyer Tom Mesereau told TMZ: "The charges are ridiculous on their face. They will be vigorously defended."

Hi Brian: I think this might be the court case that you predicted re Jackson. Congrats again for your accurate predictions. Am enjoying doing research on your findings.

Thanks, posted, and I appreciate you doing this research for me.
Pop star Michael Jackson will be in the news very soon, new charges will be files against him, so not think it has anything to do with child molestation.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An appeals court on Wednesday refused to reinstate an order granting Michael Jackson sole custody of his two children with ex-wife Debbie Rowe.
California's 2nd District Court of Appeals said that while Rowe signed away her parental rights in 2001 to the 47-year-old performer's two oldest children, Michael Jr. and Paris, it found that the judge in that case did not properly handle the proceedings.
Rowe, who was married to Jackson from 1997 to 1999 but never lived with the self-styled King of Pop, persuaded a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to overturn the child custody agreement in 2004 on legal grounds.
Rowe's petition cited accusations of child molestation against Jackson and his association with the Nation of Islam, whose members briefly provided security for the singer during the trial.
The case ended with Jackson's acquittal in June of 2005.
After the lower court refused Jackson's request to overturn that order, he appealed to the 2nd District, which ruled against the entertainer and held that the original order terminating Rowe's parental rights was voided.
Rowe, who was working as a medical assistant for a dermatologist when she met Jackson, was called as a prosecution witness in his trial but defended him on the stand, saying that he was kind, selfless and "generous to a fault."
Jackson, who has spent much of his time since the trial in Bahrain, has a third child, Prince Michael II, by an unknown mother.
He was married to Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis Presley, in the mid-1990s, but the couple had no children together.
