COURTHOUSE,
Feb 3 – With Sean Combs in
jail in MDC-Brooklyn, on
October 20, 2024 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, 2025 when Judge Abrams
docketed: "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."
On March 17
Buzbee submitted an order to
withdraw, on Patreon here
On June 24 Judge
Abrams docketed this, on
"Motion for Leave to Appear
Anonymously . filed by John
Doe." Order on Patreon
here.
Jump cut to
February 3, 2026, when Judge
Abrams heard oral argument on
Combs' motion to dismiss.
Combs' lawyer said this sexual
assault case is subject to New
York's 1 year statute of
limitations and must be
dismissed. The plaintiff's
counsel spoke of amending.
Judge Abrams took it under
advisement - Inner City Press
will stay on the case(s).
This case
is Doe v. Combs, et al.,
1:24-cv-7973 (Abrams)
