COURTHOUSE,
Aug 1 – Terrance Dixon says he
was abused by Joseph Cartagena
a/k/a Fat Joe.
But Fat Joe
sued Dixon first, for
defamation. After that,
Dixon's lawyer Tyrone
Blackburn filed his suit
against Fat Joe.
On
August 1 both cases were
addressed before U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Jennifer L. Rochon. Inner City
Press live tweeted, here.
The upshot
is that Judge Rochon declined
to stay discovery in Fat Joe
v. Dixon, but also declined
the request of Fat Joe and Roc
Nations that Dixon's case be
dismissed and made into a
counterclaim in Fat Joe's
suit.
Instead, Dixon's case will be
consolidated with Fat Joes,
with Dixon directed to
effectuate service of process
before an Initial Pre-Trial
Conference in that case in
October.
The two cases
have been consolidated under
the first filed case,
Cartagena v. Dixon, et al.,
1:25-cv-3552 (Rochan)
