Lindsay Lohan is scheduled to appear in court Monday.
Lindsay Lohan and her entourage of lawyers and press are due to descend at 9 a.m. this morning on Manhattan Criminal Court.
The trouble-plagued actress will learn if the DA's office has decided to press misdemeanor assault charges against her for allegedly sucker-punching a Florida fortune teller during a late-November nightclub fracas.
It is not clear if prosecutors have wrapped up their preliminary investigation or even have drawn up a criminal complaint in the starlet-on-psychic smack down.
But sources tell The Post that the DA's office has spent the last month assessing the credibility of bottle-blonde, Palm Beach-based sooth-sayer 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 is 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 "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 LA court 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 her Porsche plowed into a dump truck on the Pacific Coast Highway.
