COURTHOUSE,
April 6 รข€“ In late 2024
Houston-based lawsuit Tony
Buzbee was involved in a
number of sexual abuse civil
lawsuit in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York, where
Inner City Press covered
them.
It emerged that Buzbee was not
a member of the SDNY bar. Sean
Combs was convicted of some
but not all charges, and
sentenced to 50
months.
Now a case that Sean Carter
a/k/a Jay-Z filed against
Buzbee in Federal court in
Alabama is being transferred
to SDNY, pursuant to a March
31, order, on Patreon here.
Inner City Press said it would
be on the lookout for this
case in SDNY - and was. On Friday, April
3 the Sean Carter vs Buzee
case arrived in SDNY and was
assigned as luck would have it
to District Judge Andrew L.
Carter; the parties' Alabama
lawyers were told how to apply
pro hac vice. But one
defendant is in SDNY, and
Jay-Z, of course, has Alex
Spiro of Quinn Emanuel. Will
he be appearing? On April 6, the
Reed Smith law firm appeared
for Jay-Z and put in a
Statement of Relatedness to a
Doe case against Sean Combs
before Judge Torres, which was
dismissed with prejudice.
Statement of Relatedness with
argument on Patreon here The SDNY case is
now Carter v. Buzbee, et al.,
1:26-cv-2775 (Carter)
