WFB: A Los Angeles County judge has ruled to keep a temporary restraining order in place against Michael Avenatti, a lawyer and prominent critic of President Donald Trump, after an ex-girlfriend accused him of domestic violence.
Avenatti, who was accused of domestic violence by his ex-girlfriend, actress Mareli Miniutti, did not appear at the Santa Monica Courthouse. Superior Court Judge Susan Lopez-Giss continued the hearing for two months so Miniutti’s New York-based lawyer, Michael Bachner, could complete the paperwork to represent her in California, according to the Daily Beast. Bachner attended the hearing by phone, saying he filed his application but was “still waiting for the OK” on it.
Miniutti was also absent from the courtroom and recovering from the flu in New York, her attorney said. Richard Beada, Avenatti’s lawyer, did not object to the continuance, prompting the judge to set the next hearing for March 13.
Avenatti was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in November after the 24-year-old actress reported abuse allegations. MORE
