Britney Spears' former 'manager' Sam Lutfi is determined to fight the restraining order preventing him from contacting the singer, according to insiders.

The subject of Lufti's access to Britney is likely to be discussed during a court hearing scheduled for July 31.

And it seems that her once constant companion is refusing to go away quietly.

"Sam won’t sign a permanent stay-away," a source told E! Online, adding, "If they want to go to trial, he will go to trial. He did nothing wrong."

Lutfi was ordered not to go within 250 yards of his famous pal on February 1, and the order has since been extended twice without objection.
