WEST PALM BEACH -- A circuit judge postponed the sale of a Jupiter man's home who is battling his homeowner's association over his right to fly the American flag on a flagpole in his front yard.

Judge Edward Fine agreed Thursday to delay the sale while George Andres' appeal makes its way through the 4th District Court of Appeal. Andres, 66, is appealing Fine's Sept. 10 ruling that Indian Creek Phase III-B Homeowner's Association can foreclose on his home.

The sale was scheduled for Oct. 9. Fine's ruling said the association can foreclosure on Andres' home to recoup the $25,451, plus interest, the association has paid in legal fees over the past four years. Andres' fight has drown support from across the country and propelled his cause before the national media.
