Prosecutors in Los Angeles are preparing a legal fight to have Dr Conrad Murray sent to higher category prison for killing Michael Jackson.
District Attorney Steve Cooley says he is considering an appeal after Murray was ordered to serve his sentence for involuntary manslaughter in a county jail.
That is the result of a new law in California which keeps those convicted of certain non-violent offences out of the state's overcrowded prison system.
They would usually expect to serve half of their sentence.
Mr Cooley is angry that Murray might serve less than half the four-year sentence handed to him.
