Michael Jackson's personal doctor is the target of a manslaughter investigation into the singer's death.
A search warrant filed in a Houston court allowed authorities to look for evidence of whether Dr Conrad Murray was responsible for the singer's death.
Murray was the cardiologist who had been with the King of Pop when he died on June 25.
A receipt for the search warrant detailed items seized when federal drug agents and Los Angeles police raided Murray's clinic on Wednesday.
They included 27 tablets of the weight loss drug phentermine, a tablet of the muscle relaxant clonazepam, two hard drives, notices from the IRS and a controlled substance registration.
One law enforcement official said the focus of the search had been for propofol, an anaesthetic also known as Diprivan.
The drug has repeatedly been named in media reports as one Jackson was said to be taking before he died.
Murray, who was hired to be Jackson's personal physician ahead of the London concerts, has told police he did not inject the singer with painkillers before his cardiac arrest.
After questioning the doctor in June, Murray's lawyer Ed Chernoff's law firm issued a statement saying: "Investigators say the doctor is in no way a suspect and remains a witness to this tragedy."
In the immediate aftermath of Jackson's death, friends of the singer's family said relatives were unhappy with "unanswered questions" surrounding Murray.
