Cody Linley won’t be graduating “Dancing with the Stars.”

The 18-year-old “Hannah Montana” actor and his professional partner, Julianne Hough, were eliminated Tuesday from ABC’s popular dancing competition. The pair received a total score of 46 out of 60 from judges for their paso doble and salsa routines Monday. After viewer votes were combined with the judges’ scores, the Disney actor was dismissed.

For part of the competition, Linley was paired with professional dancer Edyta Sliwinska when Hough missed two weeks of competition because of surgery to remove her appendix. The three remaining celebrity contestants _ model-actress Brooke Burke, singer Lance Bass and former NFL star Warren Sapp _ will compete in the next week’s finals.
