Britney Spears' attorney filed a motion to resign as her counsel Tuesday, almost two weeks after Spears testified that she wanted to choose her own attorney in her conservatorship.

Samuel D. Ingham III, who was appointed to Spears' case in 2008, said in documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court that he will resign as soon as a new counsel is selected. In her testimony June 23, Spears told Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny that she wanted the right to pick her own attorney.
