'Housewives' Joe Giudice's Court Date Delayed ... Again

After being arrested in March 2011, the court date set for next Tuesday will be put off until 2014.

And it's been delayed, again. 

Originally set for next Tuesday, the court date for Joe Giudice's forgery charges—stemming from a March 2011 arrest—will be delayed until 2014 because Judge Greta Gooden-Brown is wrapped up in another trial, according to NJ.com.

The previous court date the date at the end of October was delayed because Giudice's lawyer, Miles Feinstein, had a scheduling conflict and before that, it was set for the beginning of October, and prior to that, for mid July.

Giudice, husband of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” cast member and Montville resident Teresa Giudice, was arrested at his home in Towaco in March 2011 for fraudulently obtaining a state driver’s license from the Paterson branch of the Motor Vehicle Office in June 2010 using his brother’s ID. Giudice’s license was suspended at the time for a DUI.
