Robert K. Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots, will now be required to appear at his arraignment hearing in Florida on charges of soliciting prostitution, according to court papers released on Thursday.
Mr. Kraft was previously expected to be represented by a lawyer at the hearing, which has been rescheduled for March 28, the day after the conclusion of the N.F.L. league meetings in Phoenix.
The hearing will be at a satellite court in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., not the main courthouse.
“The defendant must be present at this hearing,” the court document says.
