LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Caption Chris Brown attends Game Four of the 2009 NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Orlando Magic on June 11, 2009 at Amway Arena in Orlando, FloridaChris Brown’s lawyer has asked the California Supreme Court to delay a key hearing in the singer’s assault case.

Court records show Mark Geragos wants the state’s high court to put off a preliminary hearing scheduled for Monday. No decision has been made.

It’s the second attempt Geragos has made to delay Brown’s preliminary hearing. An appeals court rejected a motion to delay the case last week.

Brown’s alleged victim, Rihanna, has received a subpoena to testify and is expected to appear.

Geragos is seeking access to police personnel and investigative records. The 19-year-old R&B singer faces felony assault and criminal threats charges. A judge will decide after Monday’s hearing whether there is enough evidence for the case to proceed.
