Brit's dad holds on as conservator...
Jamie Spears, the father of Britney Spears, will retain control over her affairs for about three more weeks, a court ruled on Thursday, even as a new attorney sought to move the case to federal jurisdiction.
The attorney, is linked to an associate of Spears' manager Sam Lutfi, and in the filing the attorney claims the case should be moved from state court because Spears' is being deprived of her civil liberties. The lawyer claims restrictions placed on her by her father "interfere with the effectiveness of the scheduled medications."
Jamie Spears was granted "temporary conservatorship" over his daughter's affairs two weeks ago when she was in a Los Angeles hospital for psychiatric evaluation. Los Angeles Court Commissioner Reva Goetz has now extended that conservatorship -- which gives him control over her business, finances and some personal affairs - until March 10.
