Brad Pitt will not be prosecuted for the incident on his private jet ... in fact, we've learned there was never an investigation in the first place because FBI sources say there's no case.
TMZ broke the story ... after the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services started its investigation into allegations Brad struck his 15-year-old son on a private jet, the LAPD was notified and turned the matter over to the FBI, which has jurisdiction.

Good news for Ice Cube and Dr. Dre -- they've been dismissed from the wrongful death lawsuit that had been filed against them and Suge Knight for the death of Terry Carter.
A court ruled Cube and Dre aren't responsible for Carter's death because it's unfathomable to blame them for Knight's reckless and allegedly criminal act -- running over and killing Carter.
TMZ broke the story ... Cube and Dre were named defendants, along with Suge, when Carter's family filed the suit ... claiming Cube and Dre hired known gang members as security to keep Knight away from "Straight Outta Compton" shoot locations.
Suge ran over Carter shortly after security gave him the boot, and the family felt that's what sent him into him into a rage.
The lawsuit remains against Suge, who also has a murder trial pending for the fatal hit-and-run.

The logo for "Hamilton: An American Musical" is now so iconic, it's become a target for rip-off artists ... according to producers behind the massive Broadway hit.
The head honchos of the company that runs all things 'Hamilton' just filed suit against t-shirt makers, SunFrog, for hawking bootleg 'Hamilton' shirts on their site.
In the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- 'Hamilton' heads say SunFrog and a company called GearLaunch are using the famous silhouetted image of Alexander without permission.
Lawyers for the musical aren't buying GearLaunch's excuse -- that they assume freelance t-shirt designers have legally obtained rights to all the images beforehand.
They're suing to halt all sales and marketing of the alleged phony merch, and to get all profits.
SunFrog's legal team tells us, "As an online platform and service provider, there may be instances where user-generated content on our platform doesn't fully comply with either our terms and conditions or intellectual property law in general."
