The commissioner handling the BRITNEY SPEARS conservatorship granted permission for the pop star's Studio City home to be sold, according to City News Service. This follows news reports that the singer has been looking at properties in the Calabasas area, which is closer to her ex, KEVIN FEDERLINE, and her two sons.

Following an in-chambers meeting with Brit's attorneys, Commissioner REVA GOETZ also made the decision to keep an upcoming July 31 trial date, but it will be a pretrial evidentiary hearing, rather than a trial to decide whether or not to extend Britney's conservatorship. The July 31 hearing will deal with issues that she does not want to delay any further.

JAMIE SPEARS, Britney's father, and attorney ANDREW WALLET are the temporary co-conservators of her estate.
