Canadian pop-star Justin Bieber's driving-under-the-influence case in the U.S. state of Florida has been pushed back by prosecutors to August 5th.
The singer's lawyer, Mark Shapiro, and Assistant State Attorney David Gilbert said three more weeks were needed to work out a possible plea deal.
Justin Bieber did not attend the hearing.
Bieber was arrested in January after what police describe was an illegal race between the singer's rented Lamborghini and a Ferrari driven by his friend.
A urine test showed the presence of marijuana and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax in Beiber's system. The pop star was charged with a DUI, resisting arrest and driving on an expired license.
Earlier this month, Bieber resolved another criminal case in Los Angeles by pleading no contest to a misdemeanor vandalism charge and paid 80 thousand U.S. dollars for throwing eggs at a neighbor's house.
The singer is facing a separate case in Florida and another in Toronto, Canada.
