Sean “P. Diddy” Combs might have luck on his side amid his ongoing legal battle. On Monday, U.
S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman officially dismissed one of the many Doe v.
Combs lawsuits that a plaintiff filed under the pseudonym “Jane Doe against Diddy and his related organizations. The court denied the plaintiff’s request to proceed anonymously and required that she file an amended complaint under her real name by March 20, which she failed to do. Since she didn’t comply with the court’s directive, nor request an extension, all pending motions were terminated, and the case was formally closed.
“Today a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed against Mr. Combs by Texas attorney Anthony Buzbee and his local counsel Antigone Curis on behalf of an anonymized plaintiff,” the music mogul’s legal team said in a statement. “This is now the second case brought by these attorneys against Mr.
Combs that has been dismissed in its entirety. It will not be the last,” the statement continued. “For months, we have seen case after case filed by individuals hiding behind anonymity, pushed forward by attorneys more focused on media headlines than legal merit.
The other claims, like the one dismissed today, also will not hold up in a court of law,” the rest of the statement read. Recently another judge, Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil, issued an Order to Show Cause against Jane Doe’s local counsel, Antigone Curis, in the case against Diddy on March 28. Antigone submitted an affidavit claiming Tony Buzbee had never been denied admission to any court, simultaneously filing an order showing that the Southern District of New York had rejected his application.
Diddy’s team has been working actively as they fight for his innocence. In 2024, the Bad Boy Records founder was arrested and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering, which he has pleaded not guilty to. Last month, Diddy’s legal team filed a Memorandum of Law in Opposition to the plaintiff’s amended pro hac vice motion for Tony as the rhymer’s attorneys cited “egregious misconduct.
” This claimed misconduct included the unauthorized practice of law across 22 cases in the Southern District of New York, failure to disclose his lack of admission, and public statements improperly asserting Diddy’s guilt in unrelated criminal matters. “In our collective decades of practice, undersigned counsel have never opposed a pro hac vice application, and we do not do so lightly here. But Buzbee’s egregious misconduct warrants denial of the privilege of appearing in this District,” Diddy’s legal team mentioned in their opposition statement.
Tony has now made a move to withdraw from every case that he filed against Diddy in the Southern District of New York. "I withdrew out of respect for the court. That’s all there is to it," Tony told The Mirror US via email.
"The cases still are proceeding with my co-counsel and we also continue to push the cases in state court and elsewhere." In response to Diddy's legal team's claim that Tony engaged in "egregious misconducted" which "warranted the denial of privilege" in court, the attorney had much today. "Master of the over exaggeration.
They represent a guy locked up for major crimes and denied bail multiple times—And they are criticizing me because me and my co-counsel filed a case without being formally admitted? Consider the source. We won’t be deterred by sideshows or distractions," Tony added in an email to The Mirror US. Diddy remains behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, amid his ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering case.
