After reportedly reuniting with Rihanna last week, Chris Brown is set to appear in court on Thursday regarding his alleged assault of his singer girlfriend on Feb. 8.

As of Wednesday morning, no charges have been filed by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office.

On Feb. 26, a spokesperson for the DA’s office told Access Hollywood that the case was “still under investigation.”

“Absolutely nothing has changed,” the spokesperson said. “The LAPD still has an ongoing investigation and the case hasn’t been handed to the DA’s office yet.”

In the early morning of Feb. 8, after attending a pre-Grammy party honoring Clive Davis, Brown allegedly bit and hit Rihanna, who was hospitalized for the injuries. Brown turned himself in to police and made bail later that day.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Rihanna and Brown have reconciled and are once again romantically involved. They reportedly spent the weekend at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ home on Star Island, Miami, and they are currently back in Los Angeles together.
