Britney Spears along with her attorney filed a plea to move up the hearing date to as early as Aug. 23. The original date of the hearing was announced as September 29, 2021. Judge Brenda Penny denied the plea and as per The New York Times, Judge Penny’s order on Monday denying Mr. Rosengart’s request did not provide a reason, according to the court document filed, but the application was denied without prejudice, meaning it could be filed again with additional evidence.

Earlier, Variety reported that lawyer Laurieann Wright, who represents Spears’ temporary conservator Jodi Montgomery filed a plea in the court on July 28 backing Britney's plea to remove her father Jamie Spears from the conservatorship.  In the filing, Montgomery, who has Britney's support to remain on her case, says that she wants Spears’ father removed from the conservatorship, putting her in agreement with the singer's new attorney Mathew Rosengart. Montgomery's plea further read that even the medical term agrees that t it is not in the best interest of the Conservatee (Birtney Spears) for Jamie Spears to remain as the main Conservator.
