Justin Timberlake<\/strong><\/a> has lost his driving privileges in New York following his latest hearing, stemming from his June 18, DWI arrest.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Cry Me a River\u2019 singer, 43, appeared virtually from Antwerp, Belgium, on Friday, Aug. 2, pleading not guilty to a revised misdemeanor charge of driving drunk.<\/p>\n

Sag Harbor Village Justice Carl Irace<\/strong> officially suspended Timberlake\u2019s permission to drive in New York, though the length of the revocation is unclear. Following the hearing, Timberlake\u2019s lawyer Edward Burke Jr.<\/strong> told reporters the suspension is \u201cstandard with every DUI.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the proceedings, Burke also withdrew his motion\u2014put forth last week\u2014to dismiss the case. Irace also expressed his displeasure with Burke\u2019s statement to the press following the July 26 hearing, urging him to \u201cbe more mindful when giving comments\u201d and admonishing Burke that his words \u201ccome off as an attempt to poison the case before it even begins.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next court hearing is a lawyer conference scheduled for Friday, August 9, which Timberlake isn\u2019t required to attend.<\/p>\n

However, Irace threatened to implement a gag order or request for Timberlake to appear in person, forcing a return from Europe and a pause on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, if comments continued from the attorney.<\/p>\n

In those comments, which were delivered without Timberlake present, Burke said flatly that his client \u201cwas not intoxicated\u201d when Sag Harbor Village police officers pulled him over in June, and he described the arresting officer as \u201cyoung\u201d and \u201cpart-time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burke decided not to make the same claims inside the court on that earlier occasion\u2014a divergence noted today by Irace\u2014but instead attacked the case on procedural grounds because the arresting officer\u2019s supervisor didn\u2019t sign off on the original criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are maintaining that Justin was not intoxicated at the time of the traffic stop,\u201d Burke said.<\/p>\n

The hearing in Sag Harbor, New York, came more than a month after Timberlake was pulled over, failed field sobriety tests, and was arrested on suspicion of intoxicated driving early morning on a Tuesday in the Hamptons area of Long Island.<\/p>\n

Timberlake was behind the wheel of a gray Florida-registered BMW when he was stopped a little after 12:15 a.m. that Tuesday morning near Madison Street and Middle Line Highway, initially for driving through a stop sign and failing to stay on the right side of the road, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

Timberlake struggled to walk heel-to-toe and stand on one foot without swaying or using his arms to balance, the report said. He also declined to be tested for impairment, said police, who alleged he told them, \u201cNo, I\u2019m not doing a chemical test.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
