For its time and trouble in obtaining restraining orders against Sam Adnan Ghalib, Sam Lutfi and Jon Eardley, and fighting off Lutfi and Eardley’s challenges to those orders, the Spears attorneys are asking the court to award them a total of $301,290.19.
They’re now requesting $65,552.58 from paparazzi Ghalib, $114,552.90 from former manager Lutfi, and $121,184.71 from lawyer Jon Eardley.
At almost $20,000 less than the original request, that’s a glimmer of good news for the defendants.
