Lindsay Lohan is on track to end her court ordered probation after she completes her community service. Lindsay is preparing to play a lead role as Elizabeth Taylor in her attempt at a career comeback.

A judge told actress Lindsay Lohan on Tuesday that she could end nearly five years of constant watch by the courts in March if she maintained her progress in completing probation requirements for driving under the influence and shoplifting.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner said Lohan had attended her required 12 sessions of community service at the county morgue and mandatory therapy sessions and was on pace to end probation in March if she completed her total of 60 days of community service.

“She has done it all on schedule,” Sautner said Tuesday during a hearing at the Airport Courthouse. “Keep doing what you are doing. You appear to be doing it well.”

Lohan must complete 15 more community service days and attend four therapy sessions by Feb. 22. Sautner said she expected the actress to have finished her morgue work and therapy by March 29.

Lohan, 25, has made more court appearances than movies in recent years since a 2007 DUI conviction and 2011 theft conviction. She has repeatedly violated probation and has been jailed five times for short periods.

But facing the prospect of a longer sentence from Sautner and experiencing an uptick in her career with a Playboy cover, she has received glowing probation reports.

At her last hearing in December, Sautner praised Lohan for fulfilling her scheduled responsibilities and said she could end her probation in February if she completed her community service early.

Last year, Lohan pleaded guilty to the theft of a necklace from a Venice jewelry store. But she violated probation by missing therapy appointments and required workdays at the Downtown Women’s Center.

Sautner sentenced Lohan to 30 days in jail and ordered her to complete her community service at the morgue, where she is working as a janitor. She spent less than five hours in custody.[via]
