Sam Lutfi sure is being cooperative these days!
On Wednesday, a judge extended a temporary restraining order against Britney Spears' former confidante through July 31.
Attorney Vivian Thoreen said Brit's dad, Jamie Spears, co-conservator Andrew Wallet and Sam all agreed it was in the singer's best interest to extend the order.
Lutfi was not at today's hearing, but an attorney presented the judge with a document bearing his signature, agreeing to the extension.

In a statement today, Lutfi spokesman Michael Sands said: ''Sam and the family are communicating and cooperating trying to do what's best for Britney.''
Brit's mom, Lynne Spears, requested a restraining order be placed against Sam when her daughter was initially hospitalized on a psychiatric hold. It requires him to stay at least 250 yards away from the recovering pop singer and forbids him from having any contact whatsoever with her.
