Chris Brown's violent off-camera conniption at Good Morning America last March didn't bother the judge handling his Rihanna assault case.
Judge Patricia Schnegg never even mentioned reports of the trashed dressing room and chair tossed at a window during a probation hearing Thursday -- the stormy singer's first since his midtown meltdown.
"It wasn't an issue. That was all nonsense," Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos told the News outside court.
Speaking from the bench, Judge Schnegg was more concerned with Brown's current dispute with a West Hollywood neighbor over his penchant for parking in a handicap spot.
"We will ask probation to look into that," Schnegg said, setting a follow-up hearing for Oct. 12.
"It was not his fault," Geragos told the judge. "This neighbor is a nut."
Geragos said Brown, 22, was assigned the space by building management and that city officials promised to dismiss $15,000 in related parking tickets.
"There are multiple issues," Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray told the judge, adding that she received a list of gripes from a building resident.
The tempermental troubadour didn't appear in court and is expected to burnish his comeback with a performance at the MTV Video Music Awards this weekend.
It was March 22 that he stormed off GMA's Times Square set and flashed his infamous temper after co-host Robin Roberts questioned him about the 2009 beatdown.
ABC staffers called security on Brown, and police were summoned but no complaint was filed, an insider told the News.
"He looked like he wanted to kill somebody," said the source.
"He went completely nuts. He just walked off the set, ripped off his shirt and went into the room and threw a chair and broke the window."
Shards of glass fell to the streets of Times Square, but there were no reported injuries.
"It was incredible," the source said. "He didn't say a word. Not a word. He just went berserk."
Soon after, Brown took to Twitter to rant.
"I'm so over people bringing this past s--- up!!!" Brown tweeted. "Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there b-------!"
A July probation report filed Thursday made only a veiled mention of the incident.
"It has been publicized through the media that the defendant has displayed what may be perceived as inappropriate behavior," Brown's minder wrote. "This officer has not received any concrete information regarding these issues from any law enforcement agency or reliable source."
Brown received five years of probation and six months of community service after pleading guilty to the felony assault that left Rihanna's face bloodied and bruised.
A police affidavit said Brown punched, choked and bit the 23-year-old pop star before trying to push her out of the car.
Judge Schnegg said Brown finished his domestic violence counseling but still had community service to complete.
