Judge Rejects Challenge To Spears Conservatorship

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― A state appeals court has dismissed an attorney's challenge to the conservatorship that gives Britney Spears' father control over much of her life.

Attorney Jon Eardley, who claimed to represent the pop star, filed an appeal challenging a court order that made James Spears a co-conservator of his daughter's estate.

Appeals court Justice Roger Boren wrote in a ruling that the court has no jurisdiction to grant an appeal in the case and rejected Eardley's claim.

Last month, Eardley made an unsuccessful attempt to move the probate case to federal court, claiming that the conservatorship was a violation of Spears' civil rights. A federal judge ruled that Eardley is not Spears' attorney and has no authority to act on her behalf.
