Judd looked around the room during the short hearing, telling the magistrate he understood what was happening.
Defence lawyer Annie Allen agreed to the delay but noted it was her client’s first time in custody.
Allen also asked that her client be seen by a custody nurse to follow up on his medication and physical health issues.
Magistrate Johanna Metcalf granted the extension of time and ordered Judd return to court in January.
He will appear via video link at the next hearing, Metcalf said.
“All right, Mr Judd, so I am remanding you to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on the 13th of January next year for a committal case conference hearing on that day,” the magistrate said.

“There is no application for bail being made today so you are remanded in custody.
“Do you understand all of that?”
Judd, with his arms crossed, replied: “Yes, I do.”
On Wednesday morning, Georgopoulos’ grieving mother, Petty Georgopoulos, took to social media to pay a tribute to her slain daughter, known by some as Tina.
“My sweetheart, you left life so unfairly that I still can’t believe it,” she wrote.
“In the last few days, you were so happy. We dreamed together about the granddaughter you would bring to our lives, but suddenly, everything came crashing down one night when a killer took your life and the granddaughter that you would have brought us in four months.
“No matter how they’ve separated us, I will never stop loving you forever. Goodbye my daughter, in the light of the angels.”
By midday, more than 170 people had flooded the comment section with condolences messages for the family. Most were written in Greek.

“There are no words to ease the pain of a mother who loses her child! May God give you strength to bear this pain. The only certain thing is that your girl is in the arms of our Lord and Virgin Mary,” one read.
“Petty, I saw your beautiful daughter’s face on the news last [night], and couldn’t believe it. Life is sometimes not fair, but God always takes the good ones first. Sending you all the love and strength to get through this difficult time. We all love you very much and are here if you need us,” read another.
Officers were called to the home on Adrienne Crescent in Mount Waverley, Melbourne’s south-east, shortly before 10pm on Monday, where they found Georgopoulos and Gunn dead inside.
