A judge on Monday withdrew an arrest warrant for US actress
Lindsay Lohan for driving under the influence in 2007, saying the starlet had been complying with the terms of her probation.
Beverly Hills judge Marsha Revel had Saturday ordered the arrest of the 22-year-old star saying she had not been meeting the conditions set, which included a term in a rehabilitation program.
But early Monday the judge said after meeting with Lohan's lawyer that she "has been complying with certain aspects of the program that the program was unaware of."
Lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley said the whole affair "was really much ado about nothing" and may stem from the fact that the young actress had recently left the rehab center she had been attending to go to another.
Lohan was not arrested and she did not attend Monday's hearing.
The matter dates back to Lohan's arrest in May 2007 for driving under the influence (DUI) and hit-and-run. After a stay in rehab, she was caught two months later for another DUI and for possession of cocaine.
The arrests led to her serving a mere 84 minutes in jail. She was also sentenced to 10 hours of community service and three years of probation.
The queen of Hollywood party nights and a favorite target of the paparazzi, the former Disney child star was once considered one of the most promising actresses of her generation.
But her career has dipped many times since 2005 amid legal woes, stops in rehab and cinematic flops.
In 2008, the star of "The Parent Trap," "Mean Girls" and "Bobby," received two Razzie Awards, the satirical awards presented to Hollywood's worst actors.
