The Justin Bieber baby lawsuit has apparently gone bye-bye.
Mariah Yeater filed her suit that the 17-year-old Canadian crooner fathered her child in October, with a court date set for Dec. 15, but the suit was quietly dismissed last week, TMZ.com reported.
In addition, the lawyers representing the 20-year-old California woman have quit, the gossip website reported.

Bieber and his attorneys flatly denied Yeater's claims that she and the teenage singer had conceived the child after an October 2010 concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The baby boy was born in July.
Bieber agreed to take a DNA test, and vowed that when it showed he wasn't the father, he would sue Yeater.
“It’s sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory and demonstrably false claims,” his reps said in a statement earlier this month. “We’ll vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to protect Justin and to hold those involved with bringing this suit accountable for their actions.”
Yeater, who was 19 at the time of the alleged sexual encounter, also could have faced statutory rape charges, since Bieber was only 16 in 2010, under the legal age for consent in California.
