Kris Humphries reportedly angered a judge on Friday, when he failed to attend a mandatory court hearing in the continued saga of his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
The basketball player and his estranged wife Kardashian were both expected to attend the conference, which had been set up so that the two parties could settle their divorce ahead of a scheduled trial date.
According to E! News, sources close to Humphries blamed his absence on a delay or cancellation relating to his flight from New York to Los Angeles on the day.
Meanwhile, TMZ has reported that Judge Goldberg went "nuclear", asserting that the star could have caught a flight in time and was disrespecting and mocking the court. The judge is also said to have ordered a sanction hearing, meaning the New York Nets player could face a fine.
Kardashian was present for the conference, as was Humphries's legal team.
Judge Goldberg is also said to have set a pre-trial readiness/settlement conference for April 19. The divorce trial is due to begin on May 6.

Kim Kardashian's lawyer has claimed that Kris Humphries is holding the reality star "hostage".
Kardashian's lawyer Laura Wesser is arguing that Humphries is holding up the couple's divorce proceedings deliberately, claiming that he doesn't want to go to court until May.
Wesser stated in court papers that Humphries "cannot continue to hold the court and [Kardashian] hostage through his own lack of diligence in preparing his case for trial".
The reality star wants her divorce from the basketball player to be finalised before she gives birth to her child with Kanye West.
She said: "I do not want to be married to [Humphries] when I have my baby... I am requesting the status of my marriage be determined now for not only my health and welfare but also for the health and wellbeing of my unborn child.
"I firmly believe that an immediate dissolution of our marriage will help create a new, full life for me. One chapter will be officially over, and a new one can begin. The same should hold true for [Humphries]."

Kim Kardashian has requested a judge to declare her marriage to Kris Humphries over immediately, so that she won't be married to the basketball player when she gives birth to Kanye West's baby this summer.
In court papers filed last month, Kardashian writes: "I firmly believe that an immediate dissolution of our marriage will help create a new, full life for me... One chapter will be officially over, and a new one can begin. The same should hold true for [Humphries]."
In the L.A. Superior Court filing, Kardashian - who initially filed for divorce from Humphries after 72 days of marriage in October 2011 - is requesting either a quick trial date for the divorce action or, at the least, to have the marriage legally dissolved while the other issues are battled out later in court.
In her declaration to the court, the 32-year-old reality TV star writes: "I am currently pregnant by a man with whom I began a relationship well after I separated from (Humphries)."
Giving a due day of early July, she continues: "I do not want to be married to (Humphries) when I have my baby. I am requesting the status of my marriage be determined for now for not only my health and welfare but also for the health and well-being of my unborn child."
She adds: "I should not be constrained in my financial and social endeavours by the fact that (Humphries) and I have a marriage which now exists in name only... I do not want the status of my marriage to affect any investment I wish to make, such as the purchase of a new residence."
Meanwhile, Humphries - who is seeking an annulment, rather than a divorce on the basis of fraud - has countered Kardashian's plea, stating that the fact his estranged wife is having an "apparently unplanned pregnancy", is not a reason to expedite the litigation.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are still battling it out in the courts, with the former couple no closer to being divorced.
Lawyers for the pair were back in court on Wednesday over the progress of an upcoming trial to finally end the marriage officially.
Kardashian's lawyer Laura Wasser asked for a quick end to her client's marriage telling the LA Superior Court judge that "Ms. Kardashian is now handcuffed to Mr. Humphries".
The divorce proceedings are thought to be taking additional time because the reality TV star is seeking a traditional divorce, while NBA player Humphries is asking for an annulment based on fraud.
Speaking in court, Wasser said of Humphries lawyer, Marshall Waller: "I don't think his client has a fraud case... I think there's a fishing expedition going on here. I'm asking the court to give us some core deadlines when my client can expect to stop worrying about this. We need the courts help to set a cut off."
Meanwhile, according to Us Weekly, Waller is still collecting documents with which he plans to depose Kardashian. He said: "I do understand the desire to get this case moved... There's nothing in particular about this case that makes it more important than anybody else."
A deadline for the depositions was not set but a 15 February hearing next year will determine if a trial can begin.
Kardashian and Humphries messy split comes after the 32-year-old TV star filed for divorce on 31 October 2011, just 72 days after the two tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in LA.

Kim Kardashian is apparently suing her former publicist, after he claimed that her marriage to Kris Humphries was a sham.
The reality TV star has reportedly hired famed lawyer Marty Singer to sue Jonathan Jaxson for defamation.
It has been claimed that she will demand $200k in compensation for the damage she feels his comments have caused her reputation.
Jaxson, whom she worked with briefly several years ago, apparently decided to "spill the beans" on matters she claims he has no knowledge of.
Kim's lawyer said: "Everything that he is saying is false and nonsense. This guy is in it to promote himself for his 15 mins of fame."
It has also been claimed that Kim got Jaxson to sign a confidentiality agreement, which he has now apparently violated.
However, Jaxson said: "I have never signed an agreement dealing with confidentiality with Kim Kardashian. I have an agreement in my possession that does not have either parties' signature on it."

Kim Kardashian is determined to keep hold of her $2million engagement ring, her mother has revealed.
Kris Humphries was hoping to get the 20.5 carat diamond back from his estranged wife, who filed for divorce from him earlier this week after just 72 days of marriage.
However, Kim's mother and manager Kris Jenner, 55, has other ideas.
She told Good Morning America while promoting her new memoir: "It's a gift - you keep a gift.
"I hate an Indian giver," she added.
The phrase, which is deemed offensive by some to Native Americans, describes a person who gives a present and later wants it back.
The comment actually caused quite a stir, and a spokesperson for The National Congress Of American Indians labelled Jenner's remark "wrong and hurtful".
Jenner went on to say that Kim's decision to file for divorce came "after a lot of heartache."
"Kim's dream [was] to get married and have babies, and raise a family - that's all she's ever wanted."
"Kim hasn't been the Kim I know,'" Jenner said. "She seemed worried, not her happy self. I want Kim back - I want her to be happy."

Kim Kardashian has said that she "rushed" into marrying Kris Humphries - a move that ultimately led to the couple's divorce just 72 days later.
Writing on her official blog, Kardashian explained: "Everyone that knows me knows that I'm a hopeless romantic! I love with all of my heart and soul. I want a family and babies and a real life so badly that maybe I rushed into something too soon. I believed in love and the dream of what I wanted so badly.
"I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn't get off when now I know I probably should have. I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn't know how to and didn't want to disappoint a lot of people."
Kardashian also asked for understanding from her fans, adding: "I'm being honest here and I hope you respect my courage because this isn't easy to go through. But I do know that I have to follow my heart.
"I never had the intention of hurting anybody and I accept full responsibility for my actions and decisions, and for taking everyone on this journey with me. It just didn't turn out to be the fairy tale I had so badly hoped for."

Kim Kardashian has confirmed that she is divorcing Kris Humphries.
In a statement released today, she said: "After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage.
"I had hoped this marriage was forever but sometimes things don't work out as planned.
"We remain friends and wish each other the best."
Kris Humphries also released a statement about the divorce filing, which, according to reports, he only learned about a few hours before Kim signed the papers.
"I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce," he said.
"I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work."
It is thought that the pair ended their relationship over living arrangements.
They will be featured in E!'s upcoming second season of Kourtney & Kim Take New York. The promo for the show hints at trouble between the couple.
During the advert, Kim asks Kris: "How am I going to have my career and live in Minnesota?"
"Baby, by the time you have kids and they're in school, no one will probably care about you," Kris replies.
Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kris Humphries this morning after being married for just 72 days.
According to reports, although the marriage was brief, she will not be seeking an annulment.
It's a garden variety divorce, in which Kardashian has cited "irreconcilable differences". She has apparently hired top lawyer Laura Wasser, who has represented Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie and Ryan Reynolds in the past.
The couple have a prenuptial agreement.
Ryan Seacrest, who owns Ryan Seacreast Productions - the company that produces Keeping Up With The Kardashians - tweeted today: "Yes @kimkardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins[sic]"

They might only have been married for eight weeks, but it is already being alleged that Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' romance has fizzled out.
The NBA star was seen ferrying cardboard moving boxes and a suitcase out of his current room at New York's Gansevoort Hotel.
He had been sharing the room with Kim while she films her reality TV show, Kim & Kourtney Take New York.
The basketballer was also pictured without his wedding ring, prompting further speculation that the marriage is indeed over.
However, Kris isn't the only one packing up his things. The whole Kardashian family are thought to be moving on from the hotel.
A source close to the couple told reporters: "I don't know when they'll announce the split or why they got married in the first place but they are done."
"They are divorcing. Kim has been staying in a New York hotel which Kris has failed to visit."
One source has even suggested that Kim has already consulted a top divorce lawyer to begin proceedings.
As of yet, there is no confirmation from either party's spokesperson.
