*Chris Brown got another glowing probation report stemming from his assault on Rihanna last year.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg on Thursday said the R&B singer has completed roughly 73 of 180 days of community service and is almost finished with his required domestic violence counseling.

“Out of thousands of probationers, no one has done a better or more consistent job than you have, and I really want to commend you for taking responsibility and for actually working diligently to complete all the things the court has required of you,” Schnegg told Brown during a brief hearing.

Brown (L) leaves the Los Angeles Superior Court for a progress report hearing in Los Angeles on November 18, 2010.

“I know that you will finish your domestic violence counseling program in just seven more sessions, which is excellent,” Schnegg continued, “and that you had a considerable number of community service hours to complete.

“And I have verified that you have now completed 581 hours, so that is also commendable, very commendable.”

Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault was sentenced last August to five years’ probation, plus 180 days of community labor and a year-long domestic violence program, which he kicked off in his home state of Virginia.

Most recently, the 21-year-old showed up in the video for T.I.’s “Get Back Up.”
