LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Chris Brown briefly returned to a Los Angeles court to face probation issues stemming from the 2009 beating of Rihanna, but the judge has asked for additional reports and scheduled another hearing in two months.

Brown was accompanied Wednesday afternoon by Rihanna, who blew him a kiss as he went into the courtroom. They also left together after the brief proceeding.

Prosecutors are seeking probation revocation because they say they could not find credible evidence he completed his community labour sentence.

Brown’s attorney filed an opposition shortly before the hearing and Superior Court Judge James Brandlin set a new hearing date for April 5.
