Franco was arrested July 11 after appearing on Berry's L.A.-area property three days in a row. He is charged with breaking into her home July 10.

The Oscar-winning actress has said the incidents made her fear for her life.

In civil-court papers, Berry said, "This person has invaded and trampled upon the most fundamental sense of security I have โ€ฆ I am extremely frightened. He has terrorized me and my family."

The series of alleged incidents began July 9 when the actress was standing in her kitchen with her manager and saw a stranger in her backyard.

The actress did not appear in court for the hearing.

Franco remains in custody at the Twin Towers jail with his bail set at $150,000.
