"Regardless of the past, Mr. Spears and his counsel are now on notice: the status quo is no longer tolerable, and Britney Spears will not be extorted," the new court filing, reviewed by Insider, said.
Rosengart's filing continues: "Mr. Spears's blatant attempt to barter suspension and removal in exchange for approximately $2 million in payments, on top of the millions already reaped from Ms. Spears's estate by Mr. Spears and his associates, is a non-starter."
"Ultimately, the Court knows that what Mr. Spears is saying is true: He loves his daughter and he is acting (and has always acted) in only her best interest," the filing from Jamie's lawyers read last month.
"Mr. Spears continues to serve dutifully, and he should not be suspended or removed, and certainly not based on false allegations. Mr. Spears is willing to step down when the time is right, but the transition needs to be orderly and include a resolution of matters pending before the Court."
In other words, Jamie agreed to step down, but refused the request to do so immediately.
Now Rosengart is repeating Spears' request that her father be removed as soon as possible, and said in court documents that any "pre-conditions" from Jamie should not be taken into account.

"Mr. Spears's requested pre-conditions to resignation are self-interested and constitute an unacceptable and extortionate quid pro quo," the new filing read.
It continued: "Mr. Spears has no right to condition his departure on improper and extortionate demands for payment or blanket immunity. Instead, the only honorable, decent, and humane course of action is for Mr. Spears to resign now, provide all necessary information to evaluate his accounting, and, if matters cannot be resolve consensually, to try to defend his accounting."
Insider reached out to both lawyers for Spears and her father, Jamie, but didn't immediately hear back.
The next scheduled hearing will take place on September 29. Rosengart said that if Jamie has not resigned by that date then "the court must suspend him."
