New Britney Spears appeal dismissed amid new claims she hired lawyer

The latest appeal against Britney Spears‘ conservatorship has been dismissed by the US Court of Appeals.

Last month lawyer Jon Eardley submitted a claim that the conservatorship violates her civil rights but after lawyers for the co-conservators Jamie Spears & Andrew Wallet filed a response, the claim was dismissed. Yesterday Eardley entered a second claim with the Court of Appeals but it was rejected again without even waiting for Team Britney to make a response.

Around $40,000 of the singer’s money is believed to have been spent so far in challenging Eardley and a legal source explained: “The court has no evidence whatsoever that Eardley is working on Britney’s behalf and they’re no longer interested in playing games.”

However, a source has told OK magazine that Britney did hire Eardley in the early days of the control order at the start of February.

A source told the magazine that Britney spoke to the New York-based lawyer through a third party, believed to be a friendly paparazzo, because dad Jamie Spears was monitoring all her phone calls.

According to the source, Britney spoke in her English accent during the exchange and told the lawyer: “Basically I want my life back. I want to drive my car. I want to live in my house alone. I want to pick my own security, see who I want to see and make it happen.”
