Prosecutors refused to drop driving without a license charges against Britney Spears on Thursday.

Her lawyer Charlie Unger had pleaded that Spears, 26, "seems to be getting her life together. She has nothing on her record other than the infraction-type tickets we all get."

But Los Angeles city attorney Michael Amerian said Spears' hit-and-run charge had already been dropped from the incident last August when her Mercedes hit a parked car.

Pursuing the driving without a license charges, Amerian argued, is "the fairest way to treat her. [We're] not affected by her celebrity status."

The case will continue June 18.

Spears' attorney, Unger, told Access Hollywood, "We’re still hoping we can work this all out."
