CHRIS BROWN LAUDED AT UPDATE HEARING: Judge said, 'We have a progress report and it's extremely favorable.'

(November 20, 2009)

*Chris Brown was praised for being on his best behavior since being sentenced to probation in his assault case.

Judge Patricia M. Schnegg acknowledged that Brown has completed more than 100 hours of community labor so far, and seven domestic violence counseling sessions, according to the Associated Press.

"We have a progress report and it's extremely favorable," Judge Schnegg said from the bench. "That's excellent."

Brown, 20, who attended the hearing, was sentenced in August to six months of community labor for his felony assault on Rihanna, 21. That amounts to more than 1,400 hours of washing cars, removing graffiti and cleaning and maintaining grounds in his home state of Virginia.

He was also sentenced to five years probation, a year of domestic violence classes, and ordered not to contact Rihanna for the next five years.

Another progress review for Brown is set for Feb. 18
