Charges against two people accused of trying to extort money from actor John Travolta, following the death of his son in the Bahamas, have been dropped.
The case was dismissed after a motion was submitted at the request of the Pulp Fiction star and his family.
Pleasant Bridgewater and Tarino Lightbourne were accused of trying to extort $25m (£16m) from the actor following his son's death last year.
Jett Travolta, 16, died in the Bahamas in January 2009 following a seizure.
Ms Bridgewater and Mr Lightbourne's first trial was declared a mistrial last October and a retrial was set to begin shortly.
On Monday, however, prosecutor Neil Braithwaite said the Travoltas wished "to put this whole thing behind them".
