During the routine progress report hearing for Brown's felony battery conviction for assaulting the R&B star, which he wasn't required to attend, the judge expressed concerns about a discrepancy in hours that the Grammy-winning singer had completed in his required community labour.
The judge ordered the 23-year-old to appear in person next month in the court, reported Radar Online.
Judge Schnegg asked the probation department to establish where Brown resides because he owns a home in Los Angeles, and had been doing his community labour in his native Virginia.
The judge also wants an audit done on Brown's hours to ensure the accuracy.
