A Los Angeles judge will consider the advisability of extending a temporary restraining order on Tuesday in order to keep a former Britney Spears collaborator away from her and her family.
Sam Lutfi, 44, a former Spears confidant who said he had previously held the position of head of the pop star, was given the order on May 8 to stay at least 183 meters from Spears, his parents and his two sons, and refrain from contacting them or denigrating them. The order could be extended on Tuesday afternoon. Spears, 37, is unlikely to appear.
Lutfi was a major presence in Spears' life at the height of his glory, leading to his collapse of the public in 2008.
The petition filed by Spears 'lawyers for this order alleged that Lutfi sent harassing and threatening material to Spears' family and denigrated them on social media.
Lutfi's lawyer, Marc Gans, said the restraining order was too broad and violated his client's civil rights. Gans said he and Lutfi were eager to fight the order during the hearing.
It's the second time the family has been given a no-go order against Lutfi, who has been fighting with them for a decade. He sued them in 2009, alleging that Britney Spears had breached a contract with him, his father had beaten him and his mother had defamed him in a memoir. The suit was settled in 2016.
The petition for the last restraining order alleged that "the unjustified interference in Lutfi's life" threatened Spears "" safety and well-being "and caused him" serious mental trauma "at a time when stress and the poor health of her father had prompted her to put her career on hold indefinitely.
She also alleges that Lutfi sought to undermine the conservative power which, for eleven years, kept its affairs almost entirely under the control of his father.
The status means that it's unlikely that a judge is asking Spears to appear at Tuesday's hearing.
Conservatories, known in many states as guardianship, are generally reserved for people with much harsher conditions than Spears, including those with dementia or coma.
However, the judges left the arrangement in place much longer than expected when it was first imposed at the time of the crisis for Spears.
There have been signs that the arrangement could change.
Spears made a rare appearance earlier this month at a hearing on the Conservative status in an audience room in Los Angeles, alongside Father Jamie and Mother Lynne. The courtroom was released and only those involved know what the three people said, but a judge later ordered a court official to conduct a review of the circumstances.
Jamie Spears, who reportedly was in poor health though no details were made public, informed the court earlier this week that he wanted to extend the power of conservation from California to Louisiana , in Hawaii and Florida.
