According to TMZ, Chris Brown’s lawyer went to the California appeals court asking to put Brown’s preliminary hearing on ice it just wasn’t a necessity according to those in the know, But TMZ also reports that ” the appeals court told him to pound sand.”

Mark Geragos wanted a hold on the case because of the leak of the photos and other material related to Rihanna..  Apparently its okay to slap the girl around but he doesn’t want the proof out there anywhere.

Needless to say, and thankfully, the trial judge shut him down. So the preliminary trial for Brown in the Rihanna beating case is still a happening thing for June 22.
