Oslo - British singer Amy Winehouse has decided not to pursue an appeal in a Norwegian court against a fine for illegal possession of marijuana, her Norwegian lawyer said Tuesday.

In October 2007, the soul singer, her husband Blake Fielder-Civil and another member of her entourage spent a night in police custody after being fined for a small amount of marijuana found in a hotel room while she was on tour in Bergen, western Norway.

Attorney Ole Kvelstad told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa that he had informed the appeals court in Bergen that all three of his clients had decided to drop their appeal.

Kvelstad declined to comment the matter further.

Police prosecutor Rudolf Christoffersen told broadcaster TV2 that the case was concluded, and no hearing was to take place on January 12 as had been planned.

Under Norwegian law, a person has to appear in person in court to pursue an appeal.

The three had paid a fine of some of 3,000 kroner (428 dollars) for use and possession of drugs. (dpa)
