Socialite Paris Hilton has been ordered to appear in Los Angeles Superior Court on May 4 after being found violating her probation. The hotel heiress, 26, was spotted driving along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles on February 28 without her headlights on.

Her police stop soon showed Hilton had been sentenced the previous month to 36 months probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines after she pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving stemming from a September arrest.

LA prosecutors are hoping Hilton's probation will be revoked because she continued to drive on a suspended license following her January court appearance.

Hilton did not attend the court hearing in Los Angeles yesterday, but her lawyer Howard Weitzman says he believes the matter will be resolved soon.
