NFL offensive linemen Mike and Maurkice Pouncey will not face prosecution from a July altercation at a Miami Beach nightclub.

The twin brothers have been sued by a trio of plaintiffs who claim they suffered injuries as a result of a brawl that occurred while the Pounceys were celebrating their birthday.

Mike Pouncey plays center and guard for the Miami Dolphins and Maurkice Pouncey plays center for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both played at the University of Florida.

Lawyer Jeffrey Ostrow said Wednesday that Miami-Dade County prosecutors informed him the brothers won’t be charged.

“As expected, the Miami-Dade Office of the State Attorney has determined that the Pouncey brothers should not be charged in connection with an altercation that occurred at the Cameo Nightclub on July 12, 2014,” Ostrow told Pro Football Talk. “This confirms that the previous claim that the brothers were involved was false and fabricated by individuals seeking notoriety and monetary gain.”

The lawsuit won’t be affected by the decision.
