Per PEOPLE, the 43-year-old called in from Antwerp, Belgium, for the hearing.
Timberlake, who has been charged with a misdemeanor, had his driving privileges in New York state suspended by Sag Harbor Village Justice Carl Irace.
The singer's lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., told the media that such a suspension is "standard" for DUI charges.
Irace also slammed Burke for attempting to have the case dismissed and argued that the lawyer's statement read as "an attempt to poison the case before it even begins."
The Justice further threatened to hand Burke a gag order or implement a mandate that Timberlake appear in person, which would jeopardize his current world tour.
The former boy bander was arrested on June 18 for driving while intoxicated after dining at the American Hotel in the Long Island beach town.
Per ABC7, Burke has claimed that Timberlake "was not intoxicated" and accused the police of making errors in a bid to have the case dropped.
Despite his legal trouble, the Mirrors artist has continued his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which is slated to run through December 2024.
