Roman Polanski will no longer face trial over an alleged assault of another minor, his lawyer says.

The latest case against the director of " The Pianist " had been due in civil court in Los Angeles next August .

The suit, filed last year , claimed Polanski took a then-teenager -- named anonymously in filings as Jane Doe -- to dinner at a restaurant in 1973 .

He allegedly gave her tequila and, when she began to feel dizzy, drove her to his home, where he forced himself on her.
