The paternity suit against Michael Jordan has been dismissed.

A lawyer for Pamela Smith, the woman who claimed Michael Jordan fathered her teenage son has withdrawn her paternity suit, but left open the possibility that it could be re-filed.
Jordan's spokeswoman Estee Portnoy on Monday confirmed that Smith dismissed the paternity suit. Portnoy said there was no settlement or money paid to Smith. She said the lawsuit had no merit.
Pamela Smith filed the suit herself last month against Jordan and asked that the basketball hall of famer take a paternity test and pay child support.
Jordan has denied that he's the father of Smith's 16-year-old son. His lawyer told the court that Smith's divorce filings established her ex-husband as the father.
In a statement, Smith’s attorney said that his client "began this case without an attorney and did her best to file what she believed to be a legally appropriate case. She then hired our firm just before the first court appearance. Ms. Smith has relied on our advice and determined that dismissal at this time, without prejudice, is in her son's best interest.”
