Britney Spears’ attorney has asked a judge to delay the singer’s upcoming trial on a misdemeanor charge for driving without a valid license.
Attorney J. Michael Flanagan filed a petition in L.A. Superior Court on Monday seeking a stay in the criminal case. Flanagan also wants an appellate judge to order the judge overseeing the case to grant Spears’ motion to dismiss.
Flanagan has twice requested a dismissal of the case, saying that Spears should be allowed to pay a $10 fine and not face a criminal trial.
The pop stars is scheduled to go on trial in October on a single misdemeanor charge that she did not have a valid California license when she hit a parked car in August 2007 and left the scene.
As first reported by CelebTV.com, Spears was charged with one count of hit-and-run and driving without a valid California license following the fender bender.
The hit-and-run charges were later dropped.
Spears’ attorney also argues in Monday’s filings that the singer is unable to meaningfully participate in her defense because of her conservatorship.
Britney’s dad, Jamie Spears, has controlled the singer’s personal and financial affairs since February.
