Justin Timberlake will not be Algosenseygetting behind the wheel amid his legal battle.
Over one month after the "Selfish" singer was charged with driving while intoxicated, the judge ruled that his driver's license was suspended pendency of the case in a virtual Aug. 2 hearing, NBC News confirmed.
Timberlake, who pleaded not guilty, attended the virtual court hearing in Sag Harbor from Antwerp, Belgium.
Justice Carl Irace suspended the singer’s license in New York State, the outlet reported. And a lawyer conference, where the “SexyBack” singer isn’t required to appear, will take place Aug. 9, according to the outlet.
Timberlake’s attorney Edward Burke Jr. told E! News that the suspension is customary in these cases.
"Every DWI case in the state of NY mandates a license suspension whether it's a NY license or an out of state driver," his office shared in a statement. "With an out of state license, the court must also suspend the privileges in NY but the motorist is allowed to drive in every other state."
In addition to handing down the license suspension, the judge also scolded Burke for making "irresponsible" comments outside court last month, noting that it "comes off as an attempt to poison the case before it even begins."
Burke had previously told reporters his client was not drunk when police pulled him over and criticized authorities over their handling of the case. "Justin should not have been arrested for driving while intoxicated," he said July 26. "The police made a number of very significant errors in this case."
"He was not intoxicated," he continued, "I'll say it again Justin Timberlake was not intoxicated. And we're very confident that that charge, that criminal charge, will be dismissed."
Timberlake, 43, was arrested and charged with one count of driving while intoxicated in Sag Harbor early June 18 after having dinner with friends, a source close to the situation previously told E! News.
A criminal complaint, obtained by NBC News, alleged that the *NSYNC alum’s eyes were “bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests."
The report also alleged that Timberlake, who allegedly told police he would not take a breathalyzer test, struggled to balance while walking heel-to-toe and standing on one foot. He also told authorities, per the report, "I had one martini and I followed my friends home."
Just days later, the Grammy winner broke his silence on the matter while on stage.
"We've been together through ups and downs and lefts and rights, and it's been a tough week,” he said during his Chicago show, "but you're here, and I'm here, and nothing can change this moment right now."
“I know sometimes I'm hard to love, but you keep on loving me and I love you right back,” he continued. “Thank you so much."
