An arraignment hearing that began this morning was halted and postponed until May 21 when the actor's attorney, Harlan Braun, asked for time to negotiate a plea agreement on his client's behalf.
Garrison has been charged with vehicular manslaughter in connection with the death of teenager Vahagn Sedian in December.
Sedian was a passenger in Garrison's Land Rover when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed after leaving a pre-Christmas party.
After this morning's hearing in Beverly Hills, Braun said Garrison will plead guilty, insisting, "There is no sentencing bargaining going on."
Garrison faces a maximum of six years in prison.
The attorney added, "Lane is very sad about the accident."
Braun is also awaiting reports from engineers, who are attempting to decide whether faulty brakes may have been partly to blame for the car crash.
The police report states Garrison's blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit when they tested him for drunk driving at the scene.
