Kirsten Dunst will have to wait until after the calendar flips to get her new restraining order placed against her French stalker.

But since Jean Christophe Prudhon was served in his native France yesterday, Los Angeles Judge Carol Boas Goodson this morning extended the current restraining order against the Frenchman until a new hearing on Jan. 9.

The Melancholia star's current restraining order against Prudhon was to expire today, and the actress and her lawyers are trying to get a new three-year restraining order placed against him.

Prudhon had written over 50 letters to the actress and even went to her mother's home in an effort to meet Dunst. In one of his letters he said he sold his home in France so that he could follow the actress in the hopes of meeting her while she traveled.

For now, the Frenchman must continue to remain 100 yards away from her.
