Every Weekend But Docketed Weekly
After Inner City Press Filed

COURTHOUSE,
May 19 – In the first week of
the US v. Sean Combs trial,
there was talk in court about
filings that were not
included, even in sealed or
redacted form, in the public
docket.
On May 15 Inner
City Press which is closely
covering the trial (and has
published now three books on
it) filed an application with
Judge Arun Subramanian and all
counsel:
This morning
before the jury came in, both
the Government and the defense
referred to multiple
communications to the Court
about evidentiary and other
issues. But these are not in
the public docket on
PACER.
This application
/ letter motion argues that
many if not all of these are
judicial documents to which
the public and press have a
right of access. They should
be put in the docket, now and
going forward in this trial.
On May 19 Judge
Subramanian mentioned the
Press application and told the
parties to docket their emails
- by next Tuesday, and every
week thereafter. Is that fast
enough?
Late
morning on May 19 Judge
Subramanian docketed as order
including that "By 10:00 PM
each Sunday, and every trial
day, the parties are required
to notify the Court of any
legal issues that need to be
addressed the following day.
This includes objections based
on produced exhibits, review
of materials (including 3500
material) for witnesses
prepared to testify the next
day, and anything else that
requires attention." Order on

One week
delay to docket? Why?
On
May 16, after a robing room
discussion with no court
reporter, a May 12 letter was
belated docketed, with
redactions: Combs lawyer
Alexandra Shapiro's
"Opposition to Clayton
Howard's Motion to Quash."
Late on May 16
Inner City Press published its
third book on the case here
(Amazon blocked the second
book, so now on Google Play,
and audio)
- more to follow.
