When Chris Brown appeared in court on Thursday in Los Angeles, the judge granted the singer an “extremely favorable” report after seeing the progress Brown has made since his last court date concerning his attack on ex-girlfriend, Rihanna.

Since then, Chris has already done 100 hours of community service in Richmond, Virginia–including trash pickup along state highways and removing graffiti–and has also finished seven out of a total of 52 domestic violence classes.

Although it seems that Chris has been dutifully following all the steps of his probation, the judge did caution him to observe the 5-year-old order to keep a distance of 100 yards from Rihanna, lest he face jail time.
