On November 22,
Inner City Press live tweeted
the bail arguments, here.
Judge Subramanian did not
decide, instead asking for
letter by Monday at noon
On November 27
past 5 pm Judge Subramanian
issued a five page order
denying bail - order on Inner
City Press' DocumentCloud here.
On December 4
Combs' lawyer complained about
his laptop access, that "Mr.
Combs has two options related
to his laptop. These
restrictions are untenable" -

Late on December
4 Combs' lawyer Alexandra
Shapiro filed a 30 page memo
including that "it is not
clear to the defense that
Investigator-1 is actually an
MDC employee. For example, the
assistant warden at the MDC
has since represented that
Investigator-1 is not anyone
under his command, and the
agent who interviewed Mr.
Combs during the sweep was not
based in New York....
Dismissal of the indictment
may therefore be warranted
upon development of the full
factual record at a hearing" -

Combs'
lawyer have argued he should
be freed since Abercrombie's
Jeffries was; the US replied
in part that Abercrombie's
Matthew C. Smith was detained.
Smith
appeared in EDNY on December 3
- and was freed on $10 million
bond, on DOJ's consent.
