Chris Brown appeared in an LA courtroom on Friday for a routine progress report in the Rihanna assault case and requested a lift on his restraining order. While the restraining order is still in place, Chris is not allowed to come within 100 yards of Rihanna, except for at special events (such as Award Shows), it is minimized to 10 yards. Chris hopes to obtain the lift in time for next month’s Grammy Awards where he is up for 3 awards. However, both are up for Grammys this year and his lawyer explained to the judge that the restraining order makes it difficult for the both of them to attend. The judge did not immediately grant his request but did suggest a modification with the approval of Rihanna’s attorney who requested to speak to Rihanna first. If Rihanna agrees, then the restraining order will more than likely be modified before the show. I so hope she agrees because Chris has paid his debt to society and obeyed the court orders. I don't see why they both wouldn't be able to be civil while in the presence of each other. We'll see what happens.
