He was fighting an order that which would see him extradited to the United States to face charges there.
His extradition was due to be considered by the North Shore District Court in June.

In a ruling today in the High Court in Auckland, Justice Katz said the hearing should not take place before September.
He said that should give Mr Dotcom and his lawyers enough time to prepare his case.
