KRAKOW, Poland (AP) β€” Filmmaker Roman Polanski has appeared in a court in southern Poland for a hearing concerning a U.S. request for his extradition over 1977 charges of sex with a minor.

The single judge in a court in Krakow was not expected to make a ruling on Wednesday and scheduled another hearing for April.

Polanski, wearing a dark suit, entered the court with one of his lawyers, Jan Olszewski.

On the attorneys’ request, the court banned media from the hearing.
