Britney Spears's Attorney Wants to Quit


Britney Spears's lawyer, Sorrell Trope, filed a request Wednesday to withdraw from the singer's custody case, court documents show.

"We will ask the court to relieve us, which will be heard (in court) within a month's time."The next hearing for Spears and Kevin Federline is set for Feb. 19.
