The State is not to proceed with the case against the bouncer who was charged with making a false report to gardaí concerning broadcaster Eamon Dunphy.
A jury failed to reach a verdict on Mr David Heatly after a three-day trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court last month.
Mr Heatly (25), of Devenish Road, Kimmage, denied making a false report at Harcourt Terrace Garda Station on April 30th, 2003, intending to show an offence had been committed.
Prosecuting counsel Mr Remy Farrell, BL, told Judge Desmond Hogan today when the case was re-entered into the court mention list that the State has decided to enter a nolle prosequiin the charges against Mr Heatly.
Mr Heatly, who was then the head doorman at Cat's on Leeson Street gave evidence before Judge Elizabeth Dunne that Mr Dunphy had been "drunk, crude and lewd" on the night in question.
He said Mr Dunphy kissed him on the cheek, attempted to kiss him on the mouth, slapped him on the face and groped his testicles after approaching him while he was working outside Cat's.
Mr Dunphy denied all the allegations in court and said he was not a heavy drinker and not an aggressive man "whether inside or outside". He also told the court there had been "no contact whatsoever" between him and Mr Heatly that night.
He agreed, however, that he did not fully recall the events of the night on which he had spent the better of the evening drinking wine and champagne in different wine bars on the south side of the city before heading to Leeson Street.
