NO MORE COURT DELAYS FOR RIHANNA'S EX-BOYFRIEND

R&B singer Chris Brown is finally going to have to face the music for allegedly beating his former girlfriend Rihanna.
The California Supreme Court has refused to intervene or delay a preliminary hearing into the incident.
Court records show a petition filed by Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, to delay the crucial hearing has been denied.
Geragos had asked the state's high court last week to intervene in the singer's felony assault case.
An appeals court had already rejected a similar request to postpone the make-or-break hearing.
Brown, 20, is due back in court on Monday for a preliminary hearing, after which a judge will decide whether there is enough evidence for his case to go to trial.
Brown was arrested in February on suspicion that he beat Rihanna in the middle of the street following a violent row. The 21-year-old Barbados-born singer could testify during the hearing.
Rihanna, through her lawyer, has long claimed that she will cooperate fully with the prosecution and she was subpoenaed to take the stand earlier this month.
Geragos has argued that the hearing should be delayed because he has been unable to obtain police records of their internal investigation into a leaked police mugshot of battered Rihanna.
As it stands under current law, Geragos and his team will only be allowed access to the records after the preliminary hearing but he wants them before.
There is a case currently before the California Supreme Court that could potentially change the time line of when such files are handed over.
