Chris Brown gets a thumbs up from judge for good progress report

Los Angeles — A judge says Chris Brown has been doing well and following his probation rules since his last hearing in August.

The Grammy-winning R&B singer appeared in a Los Angeles court Thursday for a progress report.

Judge James Brandlin told Brown he's shown good cooperation with the probation department.

Brandlin bumped Brown's community labor requirement from three days to four, but said that was only to ensure that he met his work requirement by the end of his probation in January. Another hearing is scheduled for Jan. 15.

Chris shared a cryptic quote on Twitter on Thursday night relating to the good progress he has made

Search for your own happiness. People are just humans. Can't expect more from them than u expect from yourself.

Chris was jailed for nearly three months earlier this year for violating his probation by getting into an altercation outside a Washington hotel last year.

He was on probation after he attacked pop singer Rihanna, his then-girlfriend, before the 2009 Grammy Awards.
