BEIJING, Feb. 28
(Xinhuanet) -- Britney Spears' alleged attorney who claims to represent the
troubled pop star in the battle over her legal affairs vowed to keep fighting
for her one day after a federal judge ruled he is not the singer's lawyer, media
reported Thursday.
Attorney Jon Eardley claimed he was hired by Spears
on Feb. 12, but a California court had previously appointed conservators to
control her personal and business affairs and another attorney to represent
Spears.
District Judge Philip Gutierrez on Tuesday ruled the
state court's appointment of the attorney prevented Eardley from acting as
Spears' lawyer.
Eardley claimed that the conservatorship appointed by
the California court has been a violation of her civil rights.
Spears was hospitalized twice in January for
psychiatric evaluation, and the California state court's ruling occurred while
she was not in court.
Eardley also argued that her conservators were not
acting in her interest.
"We have only just begun the fight," Eardley told the
media. "There is nothing that will stop me from dismantling, if necessary, this
oppressive and unjust conservatorship."
Eardley had also tried to get Spears' case moved to
federal court, but Judge Gutierrez ruled to keep the case in state court because
Eardley had no authority to try and move it in the first place.
"Mr. Eardley had no authority to remove the case from
state court. He is neither a party nor a defendant," Gutierrez said.
The conservatorship will remain in effect through
March 10, when there will be another scheduled hearing.
The 26-year-old pop singer has spiraled downwards
since her divorce last year from her ex-husband Kevin Federline. She has lost
custody and visitation rights to their two sons.
Her bizarre antics includes shaving her head bald,
attacking a car with an umbrella and bringing along a paparazzo pal on trips to
a courthouse in her child custody case.
