Nick Reiner’s arraignment on murder charges connected to the deaths of his parents—filmmaker Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner—was postponed Wednesday after his defense attorney Alan Jackson requested to withdraw from the case.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Theresa McGonigle approved Jackson’s request, assigned a public defender, and delayed the proceedings until Feb. 23. The hearing had been scheduled for Reiner to enter a plea more than three weeks after his arrest.
