SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 9 – Anthony Rapp's
lawsuit against Kevin Spacey
was removed to Federal court
in November 2020, and an
anonymous co-plaintiff C.D.
was added.
Spacey wanted to
make C.D.'s name public, to
order to conduct discovery, he
says. C.D.'s lawyers
opposed it, letter on Patreon
here.
On May 26, 2022
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan held a
hearing, with Spacey
testifying, on Rapp's motion
to remand the case. Judge
Kaplan at the end said it is
his present intention to deny
the motion to remand, and that
the trial will start in
October. Inner City Press
attended then tweeted here.

On
September 9,
in the run up
to the October
6 trial,
Spacey through
counsel
indicated he
wants to make
public Rapp's sexual
history. From
his filing:
"I write
to inform Your
Honor that Mr.
Fowler will be
filing a
motion in
limine that
bears on the
Court’s
consideration
of Plaintiff’s
objections to
transcript
designations
submitted on
September 8,
2022. In
particular,
Plaintiff
asserted
various
objections to
designations
under Federal
Rules of
Evidence 403
and 412
because the
testimony
allegedly
pertained to
Plaintiff’s
prior sexual
conduct. As
Mr. Fowler’s
motion will
explain, the
evidence which
we intend to
present at
trial is
necessary to
assess
Plaintiff’s
claim for
damages,
Plaintiff’s
credibility,
and the
anticipated
testimony of
Plaintiff’s
designated
expert, who
considered and
opined on such
matter.
Because
Plaintiff has
publicly
discussed the
evidence with
the media, in
his book, and
with friends
and family
(and because
Plaintiff
opposed any
stipulated
protective
order under
which the
parties could
designate such
discovery and
deposition
testimony as
confidential),
Mr. Fowler
does not
believe it is
necessary to
file the
anticipated
motion under
seal." Complete
