BALTIMORE (AP) - There's no timetable for the next steps in the trial of a police van driver accused of killing Freddie Gray in Baltimore.

Maryland courts spokesman Terri Charles said Monday that Officer Caesar Goodson's trial is postponed indefinitely, pending further proceedings before the state Court of Special Appeals.

Those are expected to include more written filings from both sides, followed by oral arguments.

Goodson's trial was expected to begin Monday in Baltimore Circuit Court before the appeals court issued a stay.

Charles says the trial is "stayed until the Court of Special Appeals rules."
