COURTHOUSE,
July 2 – With Sean Combs in
jail in MDC-Brooklyn, on
October 20 at least five more
civil cases against him were
filed in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York. Inner
City Press is covering the
cases.
One of them
is by a John Doe who states
that at a 2022 award show
after party in LA, he was
sexually assaulted by Combs
"and several others, including
as of yet unnamed Celebrity
A." Complaint on Patreon here.
The case was
assigned to Judge Jesse M.
Furman - who like some but not
all SDNY Judge getting these
cases has said that a
justification for pseudonymous
status must be filed.
Docketed on
January 7, Judge Furman
ordered proof of service, and
that "If unaware of the
identity of counsel for
Defendant, counsel receiving
this order must forthwith send
a copy of this Order to that
party personally." MDC...

But on June 23,
Combs' continued residence in
MDC Brooklyn as deemed not
necessarily enough as Judge
Furman ordered responses, full
order and deadlines on Patreon
here
On July 2 Judge
Furman dismissed the case
without prejudice: "The Court
ordered Plaintiff to show
cause in writing by July 1,
2025, why this case should not
be dismissed for lack of
subject-matter jurisdiction,
warning that if Plaintiff
failed to do so, the Court
would dismiss the case without
further notice. See id. at 2.
Plaintiff has failed to do so.
Accordingly, the complaint is
hereby DISMISSED without
prejudice for lack of
subject-matter jurisdiction.
Any pending motions are moot
and any conferences are
canceled. The Clerk of Court
is directed to terminate ECF
No. 50 and close the case. SO
ORDERED. (Signed by Judge
Jesse M. Furman on 7/2/25)."

This case
is now Rose v. Combs, et al.,
