COURTHOUSE,
Jan 20 – Terrance Dixon says
he was abused by Joseph
Cartagena a/k/a Fat Joe.
But Fat Joe
sued Dixon first, for
defamation. After that,
Dixon's lawyer Tyrone
Blackburn filed his suit
against Fat Joe.
On
August 1 both cases were
addressed before U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Jennifer L. Rochon. Inner City
Press live tweeted, here.
The upshot
is that Judge Rochon declined
to stay discovery in Fat Joe
v. Dixon, but also declined
the request of Fat Joe and Roc
Nations that Dixon's case be
dismissed and made into a
counterclaim in Fat Joe's
suit.
Instead, Dixon's case will be
consolidated with Fat Joes,
with Dixon directed to
effectuate service of process
before an Initial Pre-Trial
Conference in that case in
October.
On September 8
Dixon's counsel Blackburn
wrote in asking to amend a
filing with a series of
misquoted or non existent
cases - and on September 10
Judge Rochon declined to
accept the amendment, stating
"defendants may address any
inaccuracies in their previous
brief in reply. full filing

On January 20
Judge Rochon held a conference
on depositions. Blackburn said
Dixon could be at danger
entering and exiting; Fat
Joe's lawyer was dismissed and
Judge Rochon said there is a
right to in-person
depositions. So it will be at
a midtown law firm on February
6, time and location not
reported here.
