UPDATE: E! News can confirm Louis Tomlinson is not expected to be charged after he was arrested in March for an altercation with the paparazzi at the Los Angeles International Airport.
A spokesman for the LA City Attorney, Frank Mateljan, tells us they've set up an office hearing for the end of April to interview all parties involved in the March 3 incident.
"Each of the parties will be interviewed regarding the incident and advised of the law and ways to avoid similar incidences in the future," Mateljan said. "Typically there is no further action taken by our office after the hearing, though we do reserve the right to file charges up to one year from the date of the original incident should additional information or future actions require additional measures."

Louis Tomlinson was arrested Friday night at Los Angeles International Airport for allegedly getting into an altercation with a member of the paparazzi, while his lawyer said the photographer was to blame.
The photographer has not commented. The incident took place while the One Direction star was in the baggage claim area with off-again, on-again girlfriend Eleanor Calder, after they arrived from a flight from Las Vegas, reports said.
A police spokesperson told E! News Tomlinson was surrounded by photographers and there was some pushing and shoving. One of the photographers fell down and claimed he hurt himself. Tomlinson was subsequently placed under misdemeanor citizen's arrest and later charged with simple battery.
"The paparazzi provoked and caused the altercation that occurred with Louis," his lawyer, Martin Singer, told the press. "While the altercation was going on with the paparazzi, three other individuals were attacking his girlfriend during this incident and he came to her defense."
"Upon arrival, a police investigation revealed that suspect Tomlinson, of England, traveling with a female companion, was involved in a physical altercation with a photographer," a LAX police officer told City News Service, according to NBC Los Angeles. "Witnesses stated that Tomlinson pulled the photographer to the floor by his legs, causing the victim to fall backwards and strike his back and head on the floor."
She said the photographer was hospitalized. The extent of his injuries are unknown.
Tomlinson was taken into police custody just after midnight and released after an hour after posting a $20,000 bond, records show. He has a court date later this month.
Hernandez said Calder got into a confrontation with a female witness who began filming. She was not arrested and has not commented.
Tomlinson then allegedly tried to take the woman's phone by grabbing her wrist, causing her to fall to the floor. During the altercation, the woman was struck in the eye, Hernandez said told City News Service.
Tomlinson and Calder dated for four years before they split in 2015. They fueled reconciliation rumors last month after they interacted on Instagram. They have not commented on the status of their relationship.
