COURTHOUSE,
March 11 – 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 John Doe, owner of a
family business renting luxury
cars, who says Combs started
assaulting him at a Ciroc
vodka event in 2022 until
"Professional Athlete 1"
stopped it.
The case was
assigned to Judge Ronnie
Abrams - who on October 25
said a renewed motion to
proceed as John Doe should be
filed 30 days after service.
Jump cut to March
11, when Judge Abrams
docketed: "It has come to the
Court's attention that Anthony
Buzbee, Esq., who signed the
Complaint and several other
filings on behalf of
Plaintiff, see Dkt. 1, 13, 34,
has not been admitted to
practice in the Southern
District of New York.
Moreover, although Mr. Buzbee
was warned several weeks ago
in a parallel case that this
conduct violated Local Civil
Rule 1.3, see No. 24-cv-8054
(MKV), Dkt. 47 at 1, he failed
to bring this issue to the
Court's attention. No later
than March 18, 2025, Mr.
Buzbee shall file a letter
explaining why he failed to
notify the Court about this
issue earlier and proposing
next steps to rectify it. SO
ORDERED. (Signed by Judge
Ronnie Abrams on 3/11/2025)."
This case
is John Doe v. Combs, et al.,
1:24-cv-7973 (Abrams)
