Singer-songwriter Britney Spears' longtime court-appointed attorney, Samuel Ingham III, will resign from the pop star's conservatorship case. As per People magazine, on Tuesday, Sam Ingham III asked to resign after serving as Spears' attorney since the start of her conservatorship 13 years ago. Ingham did not provide a reason in the documents tendered to the court as to why he and his firm Loeb and Loeb, LLP. no longer wish to represent the singer. He and the firm asked that their resignation goes into effect "upon the appointment of new court-appointed counsel".

Ingham filed paperwork on Tuesday, asking the Los Angeles Superior Court to dismiss him as Spears' legal representative. "Samuel D. Ingham III hereby resigns as court-appointed counsel for Britney Jean Spears, conservatee, effective upon the appointment of new court-appointed counsel," the court filings read.
