This must mean she's getting better!
Amanda Bynes was just deemed physiologically competent to undergo criminal proceedings in her DUI case, which stems from an April 2012 arrest in West Hollywood.
The troubled actress was originally supposed to appear in court on September 24, but her attorney had the date delayed due to his client's reported battle with schizophrenia, for which she hospitalized at the time.
"Her attorney declared a 1368 [penal code] hearing to declare a doubt to mental competency. The parties will be due back in court on January 14, 2014 for a progress report," the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office said at the time.
The She's The Man star was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold back in July, and has been receiving treatment at a private facility in Los Angeles since.
