Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny approved Spears hiring former federal prosecutor Mathew Rosengart, who called on Spears’ father, James, to immediately resign as her conservator.
“We will be moving promptly and aggressively for his removal,” Rosengart said outside Los Angeles Superior Court in downtown L.A. “The question remains, why is he involved?”
