Getting help from the court against a possible stalker, Kirsten Dunst was granted a protection order against a man who allegedly was caught trespassing at the actress's home.

According to AP reports, "Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard E. Rico granted Dunst's request to order 25-year-old Christopher R. Smith to stay away from the actress, her personal assistant and any place they work."

Neither Dunst, nor Smith, made an appearance at the court hearing held earlier today (December 22) - with Smith having never responded to a temporary restraining order received by Miss Dunst in November.

Of the whole debacle, the "Spider Man" actress previously told that she was "quite frightened" of Smith.
