Scheduled to appear via video link from Maghaberry Prison on Friday, Mulholland refused to appear.
His barrister, Mr Conor Lunny, said they were “unsavoury but fairly straightforward allegations” adding there was a “lengthy mental health background”.
Mr Lunny asked for a one-week adjournment.
District Judge Michael Ranaghan said: “Mr Mulholland is again refusing to come to the link today.”
The district judge said the alternative would be to forcibly bring Mulholland before the court which “may put prison officers at risk”.
"It’s a last resort,” he said. adding it could be done on October 17 if necessary.
"I’m sure they are well versed in restraint and I’m sure they’ll outnumber him.”
