The L.A. City Attorney wants Britney Spears slapped with a 24 month probation for driving without a license, but her lawyer says the pop singer is being treated unfairly.

At a hearing Monday in in a Van Nuys, California, a judge honored Spears' attorney Michael Flanagan's request to postpone the case until January 2 to discuss the matter further and examine all the evidence.

When asked if Spears, 25, feels the system is picking on her, Flanagan told reporters, "She hasn't said anything that I can quote. Do I feel that way? Yes, I feel that way."

He said the City Attorney is willing to reduce the 24 months to 12 months, but Flanagan insisted, "No misdemeanor violation is satisfactory to me."

The incident stems from August when Spears crashed her car into a 1999 Mercedes-Benz station wagon in a parking lot and drove away. Though the hit and run charge was dismissed, Spears still faces a misdemeanor count of driving without a valid California license.

Flanagan said he did not expect a formal trial on the matter.

"I do believe that both sides will reach an amicable resolution," he said.
