Hey Sam! You Got Served!

TMZ has learned Brit's BFF, Sam Lutfi, has finally been served with a restraining order from her parents -- sorta.
Click to launch docs!
As we reported earlier, the restraining order had to be served by yesterday at 1:30 PM to be valid. We're told that since it wasn't served until today, it may not be valid! That means they may have to serve him again with updated paperwork.

We hear Sam was finally found at his house in West L.A., today at around 11:00 AM PT as he walked out the door.

Stay tuned ...

76. Sam the idiot admitted he drugged her. Only he and his publicist dug his own grave. He is a piece of crap

I expect that the only thing covered tomorrow is the rescheduling?

78. DIANE T: The hearing will be rescheduled, since service was not accomplished until the day before. At the hearing the court will take testimony in order to determine whether to issue a permanent order. Lynne will no doubt take the stand and repeat what she testified to in her declaration. Maybe there will be other evidence offered. If Sam does not show up for the rescheduled hearing, then the court hears only one side and makes its decision based on the evidence it received. The court can still make some determination about whether Lynne is being truthful by judging her demeanor, like, does she hesitate in her answers? are there inconsistencies? etc. However, without cross-examination by Sam or an attorney on his side, it likely the court will accept Lynne's testimony and issue a permanent restraining order. Frankly, I think that even if Sam does contest the TRO, the court will nevertheless issue a permanent injunction. His evasion of service will weigh on the court, and Sam has a history of restraining orders issued for similar conduct, and these will no doubt come around and hit him on the backside at this hearing.

79. 76. Bottom line. You have stated the facts. He is screwed, and he screwed himself. A defense lawer's nightmare. And he has a Publicist ? He is in Fantasyland. Bet he's booked under an assumed name on a flight back to Iran. He's on a camel to LAX right now.

80. Hey, wouldn't it be ourtrageous if Sam is represented at the TRO hearing by none other than Jon Eardley????

81. Lawdawg,
it's prbably a telling sin also that the judge seemed to indicate that if he had not been served by tomorrow's hearing she would most likely have extended t anyway........



Also, Rosie O-Donnel's been at it again (page6):
"Rosie, who says she reached out to Spears many times over the past year with offers to come live with her family, recently vented about Lutfi on her blog: "I have spoken to him in my life . . . a few times. I think he is a bad guy all around." O'Donnell adds that Lutfi once had her paged on one of her R Family Cruises and said Britney wanted to meet her — but "she was never there." "

82. britaculous: Great to hear from you. Always enjoy the conversation with you. Sorry for the typo - "outrageous" is the proper spelling.

83. Your comment:


Hey, Law 101, speaking of Mr. Fantasy, er, I mean Michael Sands,
whatever became of his claim last night that Eardley would be filing
a RICO violation suit against Jamie Spears? Any word on that? It's
a preposterous idea, Eardley is just asking to get kicked to the
ground for filing a second frivolous action, but maybe Sands was just
blowing smoke.

90. Hi Lawdawg,
yea my spelling is realy bad sometimes - multi tasking probably causing carelessness.

Radar have updated the "RICO" story saying that "While Sands still insists the new papers are being filed, they likely won't be filed until the end of the month." - well, I don't know what the burden of roof is for RICO/rackateering/wire fraud, but I can imagine even with a low B.O.P it's gonna be tough building that one - probably easier to build against Lutfi...

Just more BS for publicity. It seems more and more evident that Sands didn't leave Kaplan's office because he was having so-called moral issues being a Brit-basher. He just wanted in on the press.....

Too cynical?
