A D.C. Superior Court judge granted the new date Monday. Brown's
attorneys successfully argued that he should not be forced to leave
anger management rehabilitation in Los Angeles to travel to
Washington for Monday's hearing.
Brown was ordered into rehab last week following a Los Angeles court
appearance.
Brown and bodyguard Christopher Hollosy will be required to appear
at the next hearing. They were arrested last month on charges of
punching a man outside a hotel who tried to jump into a picture with
the singer. Brown faces a misdemeanor assault charge.
His lawyers sought the delay because they said they haven't had an
opportunity to review evidence with him.
