A California judge just dismissed Katherine Jackson's elder abuse lawsuit against her nephew Trent Lamar Jackson, whom she had a temporary restraining order against in February.

The ailing matriarch - who turns 87 next week - and her attorneys were 'unprepared to go forward' with a full-blown trial on Tuesday, according to TMZ.

The Jehovah's Witness had previously claimed the 52-year-old son of her estranged husband Joe Jackson's brother Luther abused her and stole $40K from her accounts as her caretaker and driver since 2009.

Meanwhile, Trent thinks Katherine (born Kattie B. Scruse) is being manipulated by sinister family members trying to gain control over the late Michael Jackson's $1B estate.

Jackson was allegedly so afraid of Trent she fled to London for two months to be with her daughter Janet, who just welcomed son Eissa Al Mana with estranged third husband Wissam Al Mana.

The Indiana-raised mother-of-10 has reportedly been staying at her daughter Rebbie's Encino home since March 30, and granddaughter Paris is not happy about it.

Katherine shares full legal custody of Michael's 15-year-old son 'Blanket' with her grandson TJ, but the A-student has been mostly alone in her $10.7M Calabasas home.

'Paris feels her little brother is living without real family,' a source told TMZ on April 11.
