LOS ANGELES — A court commissioner Friday dismissed criminal charges against Kanye West and his road manager stemming from their scuffle with photographers last year.

Misdemeanor charges were filed after West and his manager were arrested Sept. 11, 2008, after an altercation with two photographers at Los Angeles International Airport. The struggle was recorded and broadcast by celebrity Web site TMZ.

The photographers and the rapper, 32, reached civil settlements over the case, which resulted in a still camera, flash and a video camera being broken.

West’s attorney, Blair Berk, argued the case should be dismissed because of the agreement.

West was not required to appear in court Friday.
