LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Britney Spears' friend Osama "Sam" Lutfi has filed papers objecting to the Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner assigned to the pop star's conservatorship case.

Lutfi filed the papers Friday, but was not present for a hearing Monday at which Commissioner Reva Goetz extended a temporary restraining order against him until April 16.

His one-sentence filing said he would not agree to the conservatorship case being heard by Goetz.

Commissioners perform many of the same duties as judges, but all parties have to agree to a commissioner hearing a case.

A court spokesman says Lutfi can appear in court on April 16 to ask for the case to be reassigned to a judge.
