March 16, 2009 — -- Lindsay Lohan's latest legal mess is over.

A Beverly Hills judge did away with a warrant issued for Lohan's arrest at a hearing Monday morning. She did not appear in court.

Lohan's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, showed proof of compliance on her behalf. Lohan must enroll in a new alcohol education program and head back to court to prove it April 3.

An arrest warrant was issued for the 22-year-old starlet Friday stemming from her 2007 DUI and hit-and-run case. She's currently serving a three-year probation term for her second DUI conviction. She also served 84 minutes in jail for the charges in 2007.

The lawyer told the Los Angeles Times on Saturday that the warrant "was born out of a misunderstanding" and that the actress had complied with terms of her probation.

In the wake of Lindsay Lohan's arrest warrant, her dad spoke out about her declining well-being and star power. He blames it all on her girlfriend, 31-year-old disc jockey Samantha Ronson. Since becoming close with Ronson last summer, Lindsay Lohan has been seen out and about at clubs, possibly drinking, more than ever before.

"I'm still adamant about the fact that Samantha got Lindsay in a very vulnerable state and played on that," Michael Lohan told ABCNews.com. "Every time Lindsay shows up at one of Samantha's gigs, there's a fight. There's always some kind of big problem."
