According to sources, Amanda Bynes is hoping to avoid jail time and a trial on a DUI she obtained in California in 2012.

There will be a pre-trial hearing on Bynes's case on Feb. 20. According to NY Daily News, Los Angeles County Judge Edward Moreton Jr. said he wanted to get the case moving since Bynes was found competent enough to stand trial in November 2013.

According to sources, both sides are working on avoiding trial with a plea deal.
