"A judge has dismissed charges against a man accused of stalking Selena Gomez.  Gomez was granted a temporary restraining order against Thomas Brodnicki, 46, in October after she was notified that a &amp;quot;serious&amp;quot; death threat had been made against her. The 19-year-old said in her testimony that she was in &amp;quot;extreme fear&amp;quot; of Brodnicki. However, at a preliminary hearing in Los Angeles on Wednesday, the judge ruled that prosecutors hadn&amp;#039;t provided sufficient evidence to prove Brodnicki intended to cause Gomez any distress or fear, according to The AP.  The temporary restraining order will remain in place and a November 23 date has been scheduled to decide whether it should be made more permanent. In a statement to E! News, the LA County DA spokesperson said: &amp;quot;After a preliminary hearing, the judge, over our strong objection, ruled that the defendant lacked the intent to cause fear to the victim and dismissed the case.  &amp;quot;We are evaluating our next step.&amp;quot; Gomez was not present at the hearing and has not commented.  &amp;gt; Selena Gomez alleged stalker ordered to stay away "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
