COURTHOUSE,
Oct 20 – At 4:30 pm on
September 16 Inner City Press
was told by its SDNY source to
expect "the big one" - Sean
Combs - the next day in the
courtroom here.
At US Attorney
Damian Williams' press
conference Inner City Press
asked if his office would be
seeking detention - Yes, he
said.

On September 30,
Combs' lawyers filed a notice
of appeal of detention to the
2d Circuit.
On October 9
after 5 pm, Combs' lawyer
submitted a request for "a gag
order" - Motion on Patreon here
On October 10,
Inner City Press live tweeted
- trial was set for May 5,
2025 and Judge Subramanian
told the parties to draft an
order against leaks. Thread here.
On October 11 the
Second Circuit sent Combs'
bail appeal to a three-judge
panel but denied release
pending their consideration -
order on Patreon here.
On October 15,
the day after at least six Doe
civil cases against Combs were
filed in SDNY, his lawyer in
the criminal case asked for
the disclosure of all victim
names, letter on Patreon here.
On October 20,
Combs' lawyer filed "pursuant
to Local Rule 23.1 and the
Fifth and Sixth Amendments, to
request an order prohibiting
further extrajudicial
statements from prospective
witnesses and their lawyers
that substantially interfere
with Combs’s right
to a fair trial" - a gag order
against potential witnesses.
Letter on Patreon here.
On October 21,
amid five new civil cases
filed against Combs in SDNY,
Judge Subramanian made the US'
response due on October 30 -
and raised again the previous
gag order request: "The
Government's response is due
on October 30, 2024. In
addition, at the October 10,
2024 conference, the parties
were directed to confer on a
proposed reciprocal order
relating to defendant's motion
for an evidentiary hearing and
submit it for the Court's
review. Dkt. 39. No proposed
order was ever filed. If
relief is still requested, any
proposed order should be filed
on or before October 30, 2024
as well. (Responses due by
10/30/2024) (Signed by Judge
Arun Subramanian on
10/21/2024)."
