A Federal judge in the Britney conservatorship case has issued a tentative ruling that the move to make a federal case out of it is ridiculous.
Judge Philip Gutierrez set a deadline of February 29 for Britney's so-called lawyer, Jon Eardley, to explain why on Earth the federal court has any business getting involved in Britney's mental affairs.
The court said it sure seems the Feds have no jurisdiction to interfere, and unless Eardley can convince the judge to the contrary, the case will go back to State court on Feb 29.
In the papers, the lawyers claim Britney was in no position to even hire a lawyer for the federal case because she's not allowed to under the conservatorship order. Attorney Jon Eardley, who filed the federal case, claims Britney hired him.
Lawyers for the conservator also want Eardley to identify everyone with whom he worked to get the federal case filed. It's real clear the conservators believe Sam Lutfi who is behind it, hand he's been restrained from having any contact with Brit.
The conservators' lawyers also want Eardley to pay attorney's fees, claiming the federal file is kinda frivolous.
