Nathan Richard Campbell previously pleaded not guilty to causing grievous bodily harm to Phoenix Dawn Newitt when he allegedly shot at her mother’s car while the schoolgirl was in the backseat.
Her mother, uncle and four-year-old cousin were in the car in Stagg Court at Deloraine when the alleged shooting took place in August.
Mr Campbell has also pleaded not guilty to recklessly discharging a firearm.
The 25-year-old appeared before Justice Robert Pearce on Monday.
Lawyer Katarina Gauden appeared on behalf of Mr Campbell’s lawyer Evan Hughes.
Ms Gauden told the court a preliminary proceedings application would be filed, which would allow for a preliminary hearing in the Launceston Magistrates Court ahead of a trial.
The matter was adjourned until December 11.
Mr Campbell was bailed to appear on that date at 10am.
