The Age
A court commissioner has dismissed drug possession charges against The West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin following his completion of a drug rehabilitation program.
Superior Court Commissioner Kirkland R Nyby ruled during a five-minute hearing. Sorkin was not present.
A probation report recommended that the charges be dismissed.
Outside court, Sorkin attorney Steve Sitkoff said his client has continued to work on the award-winning TV drama from his Burbank office while receiving outpatient treatment.
"He's trying to win another Emmy for his show," Sitkoff added.
Sorkin, 41, has acknowledged past treatment for a cocaine addiction.
He was bound for Las Vegas when he was arrested in April 2001 at Burbank Airport after rock cocaine, marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms were found in his bag.
He pleaded guilty in June 2001 to a misdemeanor and two felony counts.
He was ordered to complete a treatment program of counseling and drug tests or risk up to three years and eight months in prison and a $US10,000 ($A17,714) fine.
