Martin Marinovich is before the High Court at Auckland after being charged over the death of his mother in February.
The 27-year-old was arrested shortly after his 59-year-old mother died in the West Auckland suburb of Oratia.
He pleaded not guilty to a charge of murder through his lawyer Shane Tait two weeks later.
At a High Court appearance this morning, Justice Davison confirmed a two-week trial had been set down for February next year.
Mr Marinovich has been remanded in custody until then.
