A federal judge from Alabama will enter a pre-trial diversion program to resolve a misdemeanor battery case against him that involved allegations he hit his wife during a fight at an Atlanta hotel.

If Fuller completes the program, the case against him will be dismissed and his arrest record expunged, according to his attorney, Jeff Brickman.
