Dermot Laide has dropped his appeal against the two-year sentence he is currently serving for violent disorder.
In February the Court of Criminal Appeal quashed Laide's conviction for the manslaughter of student Brian Murphy who died after a fight outside Club Anabel in Dublin five years ago.
The Court of Criminal Appeal directed that Dermot Laide be retried on the manslaughter charge.
In allowing Laide's appeal on the manslaughter conviction, the court ruled the trial judge was wrong in permitting a certain process of editing statements of Laide's co-accused and in allowing the statements to go to the jury in that edited form.
Laide, from Castleblaney Co Monaghan, was not in the Court of Criminal Appeal this morning when his case came up for mention.
The Director of Public Prosecutions did not disclose to the court whether he will be pursuing a retrial in the Laide case on the manslaughter charge.
