A Superior Court commissioner has given Britney Spears' father the power to fire the troubled singer's business manager.
Commissioner Reva Goetz also ordered Howard Grossman to turn over "all documents, records and assets relating to Britney Spears" to James Spears, who has court-appointed conservatorship - power of attorney - over his 26-year-old daughter and her estate.
The order came the day after Ms Goetz held an emergency closed-door hearing on a motion brought by Mr Spears and her lawyer Andrew Wallet, who is part of the conservatorship.
