One of Britney Spears’ legal battles came to a screeching halt yesterday when the judge deemed her incompetent to resolve the matter.

Superior Court Judge T.K. Herman continued the fallen pop princess’s driving-without-a-license case until March 20. Unfitney was charged with the misdemeanor after she hit a parked car in
August and left without leaving a note on the windshield. Of course, the hordes of paparazzi caught Brit breaking the law all on film. The original charge was a hit-and-run, but that was later dropped.

Lawyer J. Michael Flanagan said Spears’ conservatorship attorneys “do not think she is qualified or capable of entering into a binding agreement” at this time. They also are skeptical that she is capable of giving a deposition or signed declaration, Flanagan said.

Earlier this month, a judge placed Spears under the conservatorship of her father and an attorney after more than a year of increasingly bizarre behavior including a buzz cut, pink wig, hospitalization and adopting a foreign accent.
