LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James A. Steele has delayed a decision on whether Britney Spears will stand trial for driving without a valid California license, according to the Associated Press. Spears’ attorney, Michael Flanagan, requested that the case be dismissed this morning, and Steele said he would review the case and statutes used to charge the pop singer before deciding whether to order a trial later this week.

Flanagan says Spears is being unfairly targeted due to her celebrity status, and that she had a valid Louisiana driver’s license when she was involved in an accident last year. Flanagan added that he will appeal if Steele does not dismiss the misdemeanor case.

A tentative trial date is scheduled for mid-October, and the preliminary hearing is set for September 16, 2008.
