Paris Hilton was on Tuesday ordered to appear in court on May 4 for allegedly violating her probation by driving with a suspended license. City prosecutors want to revoke her probation because she violated its terms, which could result in a jail sentence of up to 90 days. The hotel heiress and TV personality was not present for Tuesday's hearing, which was conducted almost entirely with lawyers speaking privately with the judge.

At one point, however, Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer was heard saying that the allegation was driving with a suspended license. He then commented to the lawyers, "I find that a violation."

The judge later announced that the case would be postponed to May 4 and Hilton was ordered to appear.
