The preliminary exam for University of Michigan football player Marvin Robinson has been delayed and may be rescheduled for February, according to his lawyer.

Robinson, a sophomore safety from Winter Haven, Fla., was scheduled to appear in 14A District Court Thursday morning for a preliminary exam, but his lawyer Gerry Mason told AnnArbor.com that the hearing would be delayed because of a scheduling conflict.

Officials with the 14A District Court said Wednesday the hearing was still on the docket for 8:30 a.m. Thursday morning.

Robinson was arraigned in early November on a charge of second-degree home invasion. He is accused of breaking into a locked dorm room at 10 p.m. Sept. 29 and stealing an Xbox game.

If convicted, Robinson faces a maximum of 15 years in prison. However, Mason said Robinson is cooperating with authorities and the case may be resolved before it goes to court.

Robinson dressed but did not play in Michigan's Sugar Bowl victory over Virginia Tech last week.
