Sean Stewart won't be getting clubbed in court for brawling outside a Hollywood hotspot.

A Los Angeles judge dismissed a lawsuit brought against the rock 'n' roll scion and his dad, Rod, by a man who claimed that Stewart smacked him around outside of LAX on Las Palmas Avenue after court documents indicated that the two parties had reached a settlement.

The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but plaintiff Daniel Refoua had been seeking unspecified damages and alleging assault, battery, false imprisonment, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress for the broken nose and other injuries he suffered on Jan. 5, 2006.

The case against Sean, his famous father (who was not present during the incident) and Rod's bodyguard, James Davis, had been scheduled to go to trial Jan. 27.

Instead, you can catch up with Sean on the latest season of Celebrity Rehab, where he's trying to turn over a new leaf after years of struggling with drug and alcohol abuse.
