LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

A temporary restraining order against Britney Spears’ friend Sam Lutfi was extended Wednesday after an attorney told a judge all parties had agreed on the matter.

Lutfi was not at the hearing, during which an attorney for Spears’ father gave Superior Court Judge Aviva K. Bobb a document with Lutfi’s signature.

Attorney Vivian Thoreen said James Spears, Lutfi and Andrew Wallet, an attorney who is co-conservator of Britney Spears’ estate, agreed to continue the hearing on the restraining order to July 31.

The restraining order was requested by Britney Spears’ mother, Lynne, when the singer was hospitalized on a psychiatric hold. The order, which was to expire Wednesday, directs Lutfi to stay at least 250 yards away from the pop star and her homes.

Earlier, Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz transferred the matter to Bobb’s court because Lutfi objected to having a commissioner hear it instead of a judge. Bobb is the supervisory judge for probate matters. Goetz will continue to handle the conservatorship of Britney Spears and her estate.

In a statement, Lutfi spokesman Michael Sands said: “Sam and the family are communicating and cooperating trying to do what’s best for Britney.”
