LUTFI OBJECTS TO SPEARS' CONSERVATORSHIP COMMISSIONER

BRITNEY SPEARS' ex-manager SAM LUTFI has filed papers objecting to the Superior Court commissioner assigned to the star's conservatorship case - asking for a judge to oversee the matter instead.

Lutfi filed the papers on Friday (14Mar08), but they did not reach the court in time for a hearing on Monday (17Mar08) in which Commissioner Reva Goetz extended a temporary restraining order against him until 16 April (08).

His one-sentence filing says, "Please take notice that Osama "Sam" Lutfi will not stipulate to the above-referenced case being heard by Reva Goetz, commissioner presiding, to whom the above-entitled case has been assigned."

The document was signed by Lutfi and indicated he was representing himself.

Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini told Lutfi he would be able to appear in court on 16 April (08), the date to which the restraining order has been extended, to make a request for the case to be reassigned to a court judge.

Commissioners perform many of the same duties as judges, but all parties involved in the proceedings must agree to one hearing a case - which means Lutfi has the right to demand a judge oversee the case instead.

At the weekend (Beg15Mar08), Lufti's representative Michael Sands insisted Spears' former manager will stay away from the troubled Toxic star until the order is revised.

Jamie Spears, the pop superstar's father, and his estranged wife Lynne, Britney's mother, won a restraining order against Lutfi when he took charge of the singer's legal and financial affairs last month (Feb08).
