Things appear to keep getting better for Amanda Bynes, who was placed on psychiatric hold last year, after a string of troubling incidents.

After her release, Amanda did well for a time, but was soon arrested.

The actress recently appeared in a Ventura County courtroom, where Bynes dodged charges stemming from the DUI arrest. Bynes, however, did not escape totally free.

New York Daily News tells readers that Amanda will still be under the conservatorship of her parents:

"Amanda Bynes will be waiting another four months for her next shot at freedom, but she's officially off the hook for her September DUI arrest, the Daily News has learned...A Ventura County judge...decided to extend her temporary conservatorship to a new hearing set for June 23."
