Topeka ? A Kansas judge has indefinitely postponed a court hearing on an attorney’s legal challenge to President Barack Obama’s place on the state’s Nov. 6 general election ballot.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Shawnee County District Judge Larry Hendricks will decide first whether California attorney and dentist Orly Taitz has the standing to file a lawsuit in Kansas.

Orly Taitz, left, a California attorney and dentist, talks to reporters about her objections to President Barack Obama being listed on the ballot in Kansas after state officials took action to make sure that he is, Monday, Sept. 17, 2012, in Topeka, Kan. Behind her are Topeka activists T.J. Gaughan, center, and Sonny Scroggins, right, whose sign refers to Secretary of State Kris Kobach and Joe Montgomery, a Manhattan, Kan., man who previously had objected to Obama's candidacy.

Taitz promotes the discredited idea that Obama is not eligible to serve as president.

Last month, she sued Secretary of State Kris Kobach and a state elections board he leads after the board kept Obama on the ballot.

The board created a stir by taking time to authenticate information in a copy of Obama’s birth certificate from Hawaii available online.

But Kobach is asking Hendricks to dismiss Taitz’s lawsuit.
