Sean Combs’s lawyers take measures against the accused’s lawyer

The process of Sean Combs on sex, rocket and other charges is still more than two months away, but his legal team continues to fight with the lawyer who represents many of his accusations.

Combs’s legal team submitted a motion on Tuesday to try to prevent Tony Buzbee, a lawyer of the Bizbee law firm, to practice at the Southern District Court. The winner Grammy, the entrepreneur and founder of the SEAN John label was arrested in September for rocket, sex trafficking and other charges.

In the face of dozens of accusations and multiple processes for alleged sexual behaviors, including drugs and violating women and men, Combs refused any sexual crime.

Buzbee, based in Texas, has submitted dozens of trials for customers who claimed various degrees of sexual behavior, including sexual aggression. Representatives for Buzbee recognized a press application on Wednesday, but no comment was provided.

Combs’s lawyers have taken measures Monday with a Memorandum of Law in opposition to the modified proposal of the applicant for VICE -VICE admission to Anthony Buzbee at the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. They said in a statement that they never opposed a pro hac vice application and did not do this “easy here”. The statement claimed that “Buzbee’s improper conduct guarantees the denying of the privilege of appearing in this district. He signed several records in 22 cases, without permission to practice in this court; He failed to disclose in each case that he submitted without being admitted and violated the rules of professional conduct in New York, among others, repeatedly insisting that Mr. Combs is guilty of the criminal accusations against him in this district, even if Buzbee has no basis of faith to believe that the Government will name this case in this case. “

Their submission mentioned that Buzbee attested on January 22 that “his request for mutual admission to the southern district of New York (was) future, but” this representation was false. ” Affirmations include the fact that Buzbee “falsely accused” of combing the abuse of dozens of children, when Comples has never been accused of such crimes. “

He also referred to the Order of February 13, which was issued by the honorable Katherine Polk Failla, the chairman of the Commission for dissatisfaction for the Southern District of New York, who denied Buzbee’s request for admission, because after the Revision of the Dockets committee, Bizbee “appeared in cases in this court without requesting admission”.

The legal team of Combs also argued that through some “countless” media posts, appearances in the media and a press conference, Buzbee “commented inappropriately on the pending disputes in a way that violates his professional and ethical obligations, among others, opinioning the guilt of Mr. Combs.” Also, the submission claimed that Buzbee’s extrajudicial statements are “likely to harm” the criminal file of the combination, as it “expressly expresses the opinion on the guilt or innocence of an defendant and relates to the character, credibility, reputation … of a party, suspicious in a criminal investigation”.

The deposit of 20 pages also referred to the public statement of Buzbee, according to which the reports of which it was “hindered” from practicing law in New York were “garbage” and “pure good.” It was signed by Marc Cuccaro, Erica Wolff and Michael Tremonte from Sher Tremonte LLP.

Last week, one of Combs’s lawyers, Anthony Ricco, has submitted a motion to give up, mentioning that “in no case can I continue to function as a lawyer for Combs.”

On February 14, Buzbee submitted a motion to reject the Civil Case against Jay-Z and combs for raping a 13-year-old woman at a party after the 2000 MTV Music prizes. The process was for the first time against Combs in November, and Jay-Z’s name was added in the middle of December.
