Britney Spears' former manager has been banned from approaching her for
three years.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aviva Bobb ruled Sam Lutfi must stay at
least 100 yards away from Britney, and cannot attempt to contact her via
email, phone or mail.
He has also been ordered to stay away from Britney's sons Sean Preston,
three, and Jayden James, two.
Lutfi - who previously told the court Britney is suffering "emotional
distress" under her father Jamie's strict rule - is planning to challenge
the ruling.
His attorney Bryan Freedman said: "We absolutely will appeal this ruling.
Never before in history has a restraining order been issued against someone
who answered another person's cries for help."
Lawyer Jon Eardley - who previously questioned why Britney's father Jamie
was made co-conservator of her professional and personal affairs last year -
was also made the subject of the restraining order.
The ruling does not extend to Britney's parents Jamie and Lynne, even though
Lynne had requested protection.
Jamie filed for a restraining order against both men earlier this year,
claiming they had harassed Britney, 27.
The ruling follows evidence given by Jamie and Britney's hairstylist and
bodyguard, who all claimed the 'Womanizer' singer was scared of Lutfi.
Last month, Britney's former boyfriend paparazzi photographer Adnan Ghalib
was also given a three-year restraining order barring him from seeing the
star.
