Paris Hilton drops appeal

Paris Hilton will not appeal the 45-day jail term she was sentenced to earlier this month, according to court documents filed today.

A lawyer for the 26-year-old socialite notified a Los Angeles court that she is abandoning her appeal, said court spokeswoman Katherine Roberts.

Hilton was ordered earlier this month to report to jail by June 5 for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

Hilton initially called the sentence unfair, and lawyers representing her filed a notice to appeal the sentence.

She then switched lawyers and is now represented by drunken driving specialist Richard Hutton.

Mr Hutton did not immediately return several calls for comment tonight.
