Britney Court Hearing Delayed


If you recall, Britney Spears got in some driver’s license trouble a year ago and has been waiting for a court ruling since then. However, Judge James Steele decided that Britney is going to wait some more pushing the hearing originally scheduled for today - back to September 16th. By that date the judge should arrive at a decision whether she is heading to trial, going to pay a fine or going to be dismissed.

For those of you with short memory, Britney got in trouble because she never bothered to get a California driver’s license while she’s been living there for years. This is, apparently, very illegal and sometime along her downfall late last year one smart cop suddenly noticed that.

Britney Spears has been ordered by a court to pay her ex Mr. Federline $375,000 to cover the legal fees of their child custody case say sources.

LA courts Scott Gordon has ruled Britneys' actions led to many delays in the proceedings, according to the AP.

Kevins attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, asked at one point for nearly $500,000 to cover the fees

The singers' attorney, Stacy Phillips, said that Mr. Kaplan was over-charging.

The two were divorced this past July after being married for three years.

Kevin was won primary custody of the kids, two-year-old Sean Preston and Jayden James, aged one, this past October.

In the mean time a judge extended a restraining order against Sam Lutfi, Britneys' "former manager," for one month.

The pop stars' Dad, Jamie, currently controls the 26-year-old singer's personal and business affairs.

In Feb., an LA judge ordered Sam not go within 250 yards of Miss Spears.

Brits' mom Lynne has sayed that Mr Lutfi had drugged her Britney, cut her phone off and taken control of her money.

Miss Spears had visited with the boys since January 3, when she would not return the children afterone of her visitation's. The LA Police were called to her home, during the incedent that ended with Spears in a hospital.

Kevin Federline's attorney said this past Friday, that he had agreed to give her visitation rights.

People magazine had reported that Britneys' psychiatrist was there during the visitation.

The visit came a day after Kevin Federline's attorney Mark Kaplan said that the two "agreed to a modification of the court's order" that had stripped the singer, of her visitation rights.

In earlier news Britney spears mother and father came to LA about the second time she as admited to the hospital, about one month after Miss Spears first incident, and have pushed to for visitation rights to help their the young singer recover.

A Federal Judge As Extended Sam Lutfi's Restraining Order


Britneys' dad Jamie asked a judge to extend the temporary restraining order – served on Thursday and set to expire a day later on Friday – until the judge rules on an unusual civil rights challenge to the conservatorship.

I for one am glad the judge extended the order.

I think this guy seems to be bad news. I don't think there is enough known about his intentions to allow him to control Miss Spears in her fragile sate of mind.

I applaud the judges order. Here's the story as reported from people magazine...

A federal judge late Thursday extended until March 17 a temporary restraining order preventing Britney Spears's pal Sam Lutfi from approaching the troubled pop star and her family, according to court papers.

The two-page order by U.S. District Judge Phillip Gutierrez was in response to a request by Spears's father Jamie Spears, who is co-conservator of her $100 million estate. READ MORE HERE

A Judge Has Asked Why Spears' Case Should Be In Federal Court

A Judge wants an attorney who says he represents Britney, to tell him why her conservatorship case should be heard in federal court.

Judge Philip Gutierrez ordered attorney Jon Eardley on Tuesday to explain by Feb. 29 why the federal court should intervene in a probate case.
The order came after attorneys for Britneys' dad, James Spears, who was named her temporary conservator Feb. 1, states in a motion that the conservatorship should stay in state court.
They say a Court commissioner had previously said the Miss Spears did not have the mental capacity to retain her own counsel, and conservatorship matters do not come under federal jurisdiction.

Eardley filed papers Feb. 14 to move Britneys' probate case to federal court, saying the terms of the conservatorship violate her civil rights.

A message was left at Jon Eardley's office Wednesday but was not returned.

Spears was placed under a conservatorship after the pop star was taken to a psychiatric hospital twice this year.
Conservatorships are created when a court decides a person cannot take care of themselves or their affairs.
Britneys' Dad and attorney Andrew Wallet were named co-conservators of the singers estate.

Attorney Jeffrey Wexler also asked the judge to require Eardley to pay Miss Spears fathers attorney fees and extra expenses caused by the removing the case to federal court, and to show all of the names of anyone he involved in the case.

Britney's Media Gag Bid Refused


A Los Angeles court has decided not to stop attorneys involved in the Britney Spears' child custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline, from talking to the press.

Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon has rejected miss Spears request, after Anne Kiley argued that all of the media coverage was "not only emotionally, but physically" dangerous to Britney.

Kevin Federline's attorney, Mark Kaplan, argued the absence of a gag order did not put the children in danger, and that Britney was more worried about the paparazzi that followed her.

Mr Kaplan also said that the paparazzi following her was happening before she filed for divorce in November 2006.

Britney and Mr Federline were not present at the hearing.

Miss Spears hasn't been allowed to visit with her sons Jayden, one, and Sean, two, since an incident that led one of her two visits to hospital psychiatric wards earlier this year, and a decision by another court to place her Dad James in control of her affairs.

Outside of the court, Mr Kaplan said Kevin would like the Britney to see her kids.

"Both sides desire to see a time that visitation can resume. It's just a matter of working out the details so it can happen," he said. "Kevin looks forward to his kids having their mom with them."

The gag order request was argued in open court before other items were heard behind closed doors.

Ms Kiley had said she wanted a "narrowly tailored" order that would restrict lawyers only from talking to the media.

Britney May Miss Hearing


Britney Spears may not be present for the latest hearing in her ongoing custody battle, but just about everyone else in the pop star's life is accounted for in the proceedings.

Jamie Spears, the singer's father and coconservator; Andrew Wallet, an attorney and fellow coconservator; Anne Kiley, Spears' current attorney in the custody case; Stacy Phillips, Spears' custody attorney-in-waiting; Mark Vincent Kaplan, Kevin Federline's attorney; and, of course, the ringmaster himself, Los Angeles County Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon were all present as the session got rolling Tuesday morning.

Spears herself was not—and not required to be—present for the day's proceedings. Federline, too, was absent from the courtroom.

Several police officers did show, however,...READ MORE

Britney's Gag Order Denied


Britney Spears, has had her gag order request denied by a superior court commissioner today. Fox News is reporting. So that means the circus that is Britney's life, will continue to be played out in the public eye. Here's the story...

LOS ANGELES — A Superior Court commissioner denied a request Tuesday by Britney Spears' divorce attorney to issue a gag order in the pop star's child-custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Attorney Anne Kiley argued that media coverage was "emotionally and physically" dangerous to Spears.

Kiley said the court should prohibit attorneys from discussing the case with the media and not publish dates and times of hearings and dispositions.

Spears, who is under conservatorship, and Federline weren't present for the hearing before Commissioner Scott Gordon, who is overseeing their dispute.

The 26-year-old pop star hasn't been allowed to see sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, since an incident at her home that led to the first of her two hospitalizations in a psychiatric facility this year and a decision by another court to put her father, James Spears, in charge of her affairs...READ MORE

Britney Spears's Civil Rights Violated?

Heres another story we found from People magazine.
The man who claims to be Britney Spears's new lawyer says that the pop star is being "deprived of her Constitutional rights" and tells PEOPLE he is seeking a "return to normalcy" when it comes to Spears's living and legal situations.


Jon Eardley, a lawyer with practices in Washington, D.C., New York and Whittier, Calif., filed a complaint in U.S. District Court on behalf of Spears on Thursday. He lashed out against the existing conservatorship as a "violation of [Spears's] civil rights," and requested the case be moved from California state court to a federal court.

"I see the case as a civil rights case," he tells PEOPLE. "These are issues of confinement. Very serious confinement. Not allowed to contact her friends. Not allowed to use the phone. Not allowed to come and go as you please. Bodyguards controlling you and so forth."READ MORE HERE...

Britney Wants Court Ordered Silence


Ok! Magazine has reported, Britney is asking that everyone involved in her ongoing custody battle be placed under a court ordered silence. I for one think that it is a good idea. Read the article and let me know what you think.
With Monday being a holiday, the courts of L.A. will be quiet — at least as far as Britney Spears is concerned.
But it's only a one-day reprieve, as lawyers for both sides of the pop star's ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline will be back in action on Tuesday, where among several other items they'll argue over a motion by Brit's team to place a gag order on everyone involved in the case.

Sam Helping Britney Fight Back


According to E! News Online Sam Lutfi may be trying to make a federal case out of Britney Spears' travails, but it doesn't appear he's been successful just yet.

A Los Angeles Superior Court spokesperson told E! News Friday that all of the orders pertaining to Jamie Spears' conservatorship over his daughter's affairs are still being handled in the local court, contrary to reports that the case has been transferred to federal jurisdiction.

And, contrary to the efforts of Britney's dearest-if-not-so-nearest to take it there.

Sources close to the situation confirm that Lutfi, who after two weeks has yet to be served with the restraining order Britney's family obtained against him Feb. 1, is behind the filing this week of a strongly worded petition seeking to move the troubled singer's custody and conservatorship cases from L.A. court to federal court.

"Sam is at war with Jamie. This is his first strike," a Spears insider said Friday, explaining that Lutfi feels Britney's rights were violated because court-appointed attorneys did not investigate the claims her family was making about her condition.

Lutfi's new publicist, Michael Sands, who insists that the case has been transferred, filed the petition this week on behalf of New York attorney Jon Eardley, who is listed in the paperwork as Britney's counsel.

"Ms. Spears has been denied the right to associate freely with friends. She has been denied the right to make or receive telephone calls. She has been denied the right to operate a motor vehicle…She has been denied the right to receive and send mail," the petition states.

"Additionally she has been denied the right to her finances. She is not allowed to access her money or credit cards."

"Britney has expressed that she doesn't want to be under the lock and control of her family," Sands said Friday. "She wants nothing to do with her father."

And the case now "resides" in federal court, due to a technicality, he added.

"Because the court's order appointing her father conservator until Mar. 10 wasn't signed until after the notice of removal was filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court...the order extending the conservatorship...is void and invalid," Sands rationalized.

But although Sands suggests that it's time for Jamie to back off, the Superior Court spokesperson maintained that they have received no request to turn over any materials related to the Spears' case to U.S. District Court.

Meanwhile, E!'s source says Britney spoke to Eardley before the petition was filed and is planning a new attack on her dad's conservator status.

Eardley is planning to present evidence showing Jamie is not qualified to oversee her affairs, even with the help of a coconservator, and will point to examples in his personal and professional history to prove he isn't capable of making decisions for his daughter, the source said.

"She has basically conveyed that she doesn't want to be in her family's control," Sands said.

Legal experts say, however, that because Britney was previously found unfit to hire her own counsel, it's unlikely that Eardley will be allowed to represent her, thereby making the petition to transfer the case invalid.

Eardley could not be reached directly for comment but, via Sands, he said, "I will try this case in court, not in the media."

On Thursday, L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz extended Jamie Spears' conservator status until at least Mar. 10, when the next hearing is scheduled, and named Britney's brother, Bryan Spears, and his attorney cotrustees of her SBJ Trust, which is used to pay for daily expenses and medical bills.

Britney's increased efforts to push her dad out of the picture come just as she seemed to be settling into a warmer relationship with mom Lynne, whom she hadn't seen for months before her blow-up with Lutfi last month that resulted in a mass migration of paparazzi, cops and, eventually, Britney's parents to her Beverly Hills home.

But the quality time will be on hold for awhile as Lynne heads back to their hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, where 16-year-old daughter Jamie Lynn could probably use some guidance, as well.

"Lynne feels like Britney is in a much better place and on the right track," a family insider says. "She had to get home and take care of Jamie Lynn and other personal matters. She will be back soon."
