A former cheographer has sued the Jackson estate for just under $150,000

Add one more person to the list trying to get a piece of the Michael Jackson estate.

According to TMZ, LaVelle Smith Jr., a choreographer who used to work with Jackson is the latest to file a creditor's claim against the King of Pop. Smith claims that Jackson only paid him part of what he was owed for working with Jackson in parts of 2008 and 2009. Smith says that Jackson owes him $144,500.

There have been a string of claims filed against Jackson's estate since the entertainer passed away. Everyone seems to want to get in on the action, from Jackson's former lawyer, to an accounting firm, to a memorabilia collector.

One woman went as far as to claim that Jackson "communicated with her through his music," filing a $50 million lawsuit. The suit also contends that Jackson hired criminals to watch her at her home and report to Jackson what she was doing.
