 Smith will face a hearing on July 30 to discuss the matter, Los
Angeles City Attorney's Office spokesman Frank Mateljan told USA
Today Sports by email Tuesday.
"A City Attorney Office hearing is administered by members of the
City Attorney's office in lieu of a criminal filing," Mateljan wrote
in the email. "Involved parties are scheduled to attend and give
their account of the incident. The individuals are then admonished
about the applicable laws and given suggestions on how to avoid
similar incidents in the future."
The office reserves the right to file charges up to one year after
the April 13 incident.
Smith, 24, has faced a tumultuous year with several off-field
incidents. He missed five games after voluntarily checking himself
into a substance abuse program, and faces a July 25 sentencing
hearing on weapons and DUI charges from two unrelated incidents.
