As Sean Combs Is Sued for Sexual Assault in Vegas Motion on Doe Name Week After Appear

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 4 – With Sean Combs in jail in MDC-Brooklyn, on October 20 at least five more civil cases against him were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Inner City Press is covering the cases. 

 One of them is by a Jane Doe who states that while in Las Vegas in 2014 an entertained called Smoove invited her to a Combs party where she saw Mary J. Blige, Lil' Kim and Nicki Manaj - then was drugged and sexually assaulted by Combs in his suite at the Planet Hollywood hotel. The complaint has two photos of Combs in an 89 football jersey.

The case was assigned to Judge Vernon S. Broderick - who on November 4 ordered "that Plaintiff's motion to proceed anonymously is GRANTED pending Defendants' appearance. No later than seven (7) days following Defendants' appearance, Plaintiff shall file a letter on the docket indicating whether she intends to either renew her motion on the papers already submitted or file new motion papers. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants shall file any opposition to the motion to proceed anonymously no later than twenty-one (21) days after being served with the complaint. I will then reconsider Plaintiff's motion. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Vernon S. Broderick on 11/4/2024)

This is in contrast to fellow SDY Judge Vyskocil's denial of anonymous status in a similar Jane Doe lawsuit against Combs.

He did not - yet? - follow Judge Jesse M. Furman who ordered, "to ensure that the Court has no conflicts that would require recusal, Plaintiff shall promptly file, under seal, a declaration disclosing his identity (and the identity of any other party that is not named in the Complaint) to the Court." Celebrity A… 

Note: This logic would apply to all of the John and Jane Does, in the other cases...

 This case is Jane Doe v. Combs, et al., 1:24-cv-7944 (Broderick)
