Los Angeles Superior Court has issued a restraining order agains SAM LUFTI and his legal associate JON EARDLEY that means both men must stay at least 100 yards away from BRITNEY, her two sons and her family members' homes.

They cannot contact the singer via phone, mail or email either.

Spears' father Jamie filed the restraining order request in January after learning that Lutfi had attempted to contact his daughter over Christmas, going so far as to smuggle a cell phone to the singer in a hotel.

Lufti is appealing the restraining order and has filed a lawsuit against the Spears family for defamation and battery.
