Hearing Update & Britney's team file restraining order against ex manager

[Gimme More 35,586]

Spears’ attorney is filing documents on her behalf Tuesday in Los Angeles, seeking a temporary restraining order against Sam Lutfi.

Along with herself, Britney is asking that her father, mother and two sons are protected.

According to the documents, they claim Lutfi has been sending harassing and threatening texts and tweets to Britney and her family.

They claim Lutfi’s actions have caused “severe mental trauma” while interfering with her life.

Spears’ legal team claims Lutfi is trying to disrupt Britney’s conservatorship through calls for “vigilante action, bribes and release of private information.” They claim his actions are problematic for Britney’s safety and well-being, and make it clear they need him kept away to “prevent future harm and further psychological trauma.”

They don’t accuse him outright, but it appears Spears’ team is implying Lutfi is involved in the #FreeBritney movement.

The documents claim Lutfi sent Britney’s mom, Lynne, an “unhinged” text on April 29 accusing her of not being involved in the conservatorship and claiming Britney’s life was out of control.

Britney was only out of treatment four days after finishing her program on April 25.

According to the message to Lynne, Sam wrote, “You are the one that’s been breaking your back for your children your entire life and yet you are still having to answer to people that have done nothing for your family yet they are in charge.”

He also said, “You need to stop allowing anyone to treat you poorly. Lou lives like a queen and does what she wants. You how how poorly she speaks about you behind your back,” adding, “I want to just be able to provide you all the resources that you’ll need for this transition if that is the plan. Everything from counsel to $.”

He tried to send Lynne $1,000 to get involved, but she refused the payment.

Interestingly enough, days later Lynne filed her own documents asking to be included in the conservatorship case.

The documents claim Lutfi has threatened to release “trunks” of photos and other damaging material he collected when he worked with Britney.

Lutfi was Britney’s manager during 2007/2008, and her family holds him responsible for her mental downfall in 2008.

He later sued Britney’s parents after Lynne accused him of being the “gatekeeper” and contributing to Britney’s illness, and the two parties settled for an undisclosed amount.

The Blast broke the story, Britney’s mother plans on attending her conservatorship hearing on Friday and wants to be kept informed of everything going on with her daughter’s care.

Story developing…

source: the blast

either way Sam is not a good person, Amanda Bynes, Courtney Love have had restraining orders against him (britney's team has had multiple ones in the past against him). Sam allegedly used to 'drug' britney and hide her dogs and phones. Jamie punched Sam in 2008, at least that's something good he's done.

it looks like they are trying to shut him up about the 'free britney' movement!

Conservatorship hearing update:

Lynne has now also filed an ex parte application

also there will be a peaceful 'free britney' rally outside the court on May 10th that britney is rumoured to be attending the hearing if she is allowed.

The attorney who persists in representing Britney Spears, despite having been given instructions to the contrary, is still on the court's case.  

New York-based lawyer Jon Eardley filed a new batch of documents Monday related to his appeal of the legality of Britney's conservatorship, including a declaration from a UCLA law professor that supports his theory that the 26-year-old pop star never received proper notice—as mandated by state law—that her father was seeking control of her estate. 

A Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner named Jamie Spears and attorney Andrew Wallet coconservators of Britney's estimated $100 million fortune on Feb. 1, a day after she was committed to the neuropsychiatric ward at UCLA Medical Center for observation.  

Since then, Commissioner Reva Goetz has ruled that Britney was not fit to hire her own counsel and, most recently, allocated a $1,500 weekly spending allowance for the "Toxic" singer and a $2,500-per-week stipend for her dad while he's managing her affairs and authorized Jamie and Wallet to sell some of Britney's cars. The conservatorship has been extended until at least July 31. 

Meanwhile, professor William McGovern stated in a declaration filed Monday that Britney should have been personally served notice of the court proceedings occurring while she was in the hospital because her case was not one where the rule of offering at least five days notice did not apply. In Britney's case, she was not facing imminent substantial harm. 

Because Britney wasn't notified, due process law dictates that Jamie's heightened status should have been good for no more than 30 days, the declaration says.  

Britney's right to pick her own lawyer was infringed upon by the appointment of her father as conservator, which allowed him to restrict and limit her visitors and who she can contact, McGovern continued. 

He stated that he arrived at his conclusion after reviewing Goetz's temporary conservatorship order and corresponding documents filed by Jamie and Lynne Spears. 

After a federal judge refused to remove the case from probate court, Eardley appealed the conservatorship and Jamie's court-ordered allowance on Mar. 11, despite U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez's previous finding that he had "no authority" to go to bat for Britney. 

Meanwhile, documents released Wednesday shed some light as to why Jamie's camp is looking to liquidate his daughter's vehicular fleet, which includes two white Mercedes, a white Mini Cooper convertible and a black Audi. (View related filings.) 

Apparently Britney owns seven rides of various shapes and sizes and unloading the cost of maintaining, insuring and storing the vehicles will "save substantial expenses to the conservatorship estate."
