![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
The man suing Lindsay Lohan over a 2005 car accident claims she was drunk at the time -- but two restaurant employees say that just isn't true -- and Lindsay wants the case dismissed!
Raymundo Ortega is suing both Lindsay Lohan and the Ivy (where Lindsay dined that day). Last month, two Ivy employees (her waiter that day and a security guard) submitted declarations stating that LiLo did not drink that day -- and that any drinks ordered and consumed were for other people at her table.
In court papers filed yesterday, Lohan asked the judge to consider those statements in her request for summary judgment in the case -- meaning her lawyers want the judge to throw out the lawsuit even before it gets to a jury. The judge will make that decision on March 21.

Without a breath or blood test how can you claim someone was drunk?
I wonder how much she paid those employees to say that she wasn't drinking.
Of course they'll say she wasn't drinking. She was under 21 and they would have lost their jobs if they told on management for letting her drink. You're probably right about the coke, too.
It's a little late to prove it now, isn't it? I am sure the Ivy waiters would never lie for blohan. Unless they were sitting on her lap the whole time, they can't say she didn't drink.
What I don't understand is how this guy can sue her when he made an illegale U-turn! Was the guy cited for that?
#6 you are right! of course they are going to deny that she was drinking alcohol because she was under age! the ivy wants to avoid any prosecution!
WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT THIS KID WILL MAKE IT TO THE SUMMER WITHOUT BEING BEFORE A JUDGE FOR DRUGS OR DWI ?WHAT ARE THE ODDS HER FATHER WILL MAKE IT THROUGH 2008 WITHOUT A RELAPSE? WHAT ARE THE ODDS LOHANS MOTHER GO THROUGH 2008 WITHOUT USING HER DAUGHTERS FAME FOR HER FORTUNE ? DONT LISTEN TO THE PARENTS SAYING THEY ARE MALIGNIED OR HAVING TO HAVE A THICK SKIN.THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE.ITS A SHAME . OUT OF SPEARS HILTON AND LOHAN I WAS ROOTING FOR LOHAN TO SHED HER VISES AND REINVENT HERSELF.I STILL AM.
I wonder if the judge will look into her recent behaviour in Europe with the Champagne bottle "sip". If I was the judge, I would NOT throw this out of court because so-and-so said she didn't drink... I think she did and I also think her little slip up in Europe wasn't the first time either... I am sure she has been "sneaking" a drink here and there where she "thinks" the camera's are off her... keep on the look out LiLo... WE ARE WATCHING!!!
This is an easy one. The judge will have no choice but to deny Lohanâs Motion for Summary Judgment. A Court can only grant summary judgment if there are no issues of material fact. Whether Lohan was drinking is a DISPUTED ISSUE, one which the jury will have to decide. The check from the restaurant shows there were drinks ordered by her table which she may have consumed, even though the Defendants and their agents or representatives say Lohan didnât drink. This is a fact dispute, not a law dispute, so summary judgment would be improper.
