was told by its SDNY source to
expect "the big one" - Sean

courtroom here.
At 10:30 pm, from
SDNY News, this: "USA Damian
Williams: Earlier this
evening, federal agents
arrested Sean Combs, based on
a sealed indictment filed by
the SDNY. We expect to
move to unseal the indictment
in the morning and will have
more to say at that time."
At US Attorney
Damian Williams' press
conference Inner City Press
asked if his office would be
seeking detention - Yes, he
said. Detention memo on

On September 30,
Combs' lawyers filed a notice
of appeal of detention to the
2d Circuit.
On October 3,
Combs' SDNY criminal case was
re-assigned: "Case as to Sean
Combs REASSIGNED to Judge Arun
Subramanian. Judge Andrew L.
Carter, Jr no longer assigned

submitted a request for "(1)
an evidentiary hearing to
examine government misconduct
in connection with the leaks;

and (4) suppression of any
evidence leaked by government
employees in violation of
Federal Rule of Criminal
Procedure 6(e) or any other
law, rule, or regulation."
