Lindsay Lohan is scheduled to appear in court Monday.
There will be good news for Lindsay Lohan when she descends ever-so-briefly this morning on Manhattan Criminal Court as the DA's office has held off — for now — in pressing charges against her for allegedly sucker-punching a Florida fortune teller during a late-November nightclub fracas.
Prosecutors have not wrapped up their preliminary investigation or even drawn up a criminal complaint in the starlet-on-psychic smack down.
"The complaint is not ready, but she is still required to come in [to the clerk's office] to officially be told that and to sign that she has appeared and be given a new date," said state court system spokesman David Bookstaver.
Sources tell The Post that the DA's office has spent the last month assessing the credibility of bottle-blonde, Palm Beach-based soothsayer Tiffany Mitchell, 26, along with the credibility of other eye-witnesses who they've interviewed from both the Mitchell and Lohan camps.
Lohan's side is insisting the star never laid a hand on Mitchell and only confronted the blonde after some $10,000 cash went missing from Lohan's purse in the VIP section of the tony Chelsea club Avenue.
Mitchell's side is insisting Lohan threw a hissy fit after Mitchell asked to snap a picture of the "Mean Girls" actress — and that the punch knocked her off her feet and made her cheek swell.
Today was to be Lohan's first scheduled appearance on the alleged assault.
Mitchell and her "Palm Beach Psychic Visions" business has received less than stellar reviews — with critics on various blogs blasting her for charging hundreds of dollars for an "aura cleansing."
Mitchell and her husband Wayne Stevens have recently moved to New York; Mitchell and her celebrity civil lawyer, Gloria Allred, met with prosecutors last month.
Prosecutors have also been examining fuzzy, strobe-lit surveillance video footage from the 4 a.m. incident.
Lohan's lawyer, Mark Jay Heller, has declined to comment on the case, as has Mitchell's lawyer.
The starlet — recently panned for her performance as Elizabeth Taylor in the TV movie "Liz & Dick" — is next due in court in LA in just a week.
There she faces a more imminent legal threat -- a possible 240-day jail term for allegedly violating her probation on a jewelry shoplifting conviction by lying to cops this past June to avoid arrest after plowing her Porsche into a dump truck on the Pacific Coast Highway.
