TMZ has confirmed that Sam Lutfi has not been served with the restraining order sought by Brit's parents-- yet.

If he comes in contact with Britney, it technically wouldn't violate the restraining order issued against him -- since he hasn't officially been given notice.

It's a technicality, yes, but Sam could argue he doesn't know about the TRO since he hasn't even seen it.

Plus his publicist cannot keep his story straight...

TMZ just spoke to Sam Lutfi's new publicist (and former Mark Vincent Kaplan media consultant), Michael Sands, and it looks like Sands is a big fan of making little sense.

At one point in the conversation, Sands told TMZ Lutfi doesn't get any money from Britney, and that Howard Grossman is her actual manager. Moments later, he said of Sam, "What's the problem here? Guy trying to make a buck managing Britney Spears, not bad. Smart move!" Perhaps, if you like restraining orders.

Sands also said all drugs Sam fed to Brit were "prescription medication cocktails," and that Lutfi's main goal is to "save Britney Spears' life."
