New Court Filings Hit The Diddy Docket (10/17/24)

The government’s letter responds to Sean Combs' legal team's motion, which seeks a hearing, exclusion of evidence, and other relief due to alleged leaks in the ongoing investigation. The government likely argues that these leaks do not justify the requested actions. The letter aims to counter Combs' claims and provide the government's perspective on why the evidence should remain admissible and the investigation should proceed without the exclusions requested by the defense. For more details, the full document can be accessed.The joint letter in United States v. Combs responds to a court order dated October 4, 2024, requiring the parties to outline key issues for the pretrial conference scheduled for October 10, 2024. Both the government and defense teams presented their positions regarding discovery and trial scheduling.The government emphasized that the discovery process involves large amounts of electronic data, including materials from Combs' devices and third-party data. They have already begun producing discovery, with additional rolling productions expected by the end of the year. They argue that they have been working diligently to meet deadlines and coordinate with the defense.On the other hand, Combs' defense team argued that certain materials, especially electronic devices seized months ago, are crucial for their preparation and should be produced immediately without unnecessary delays for privilege reviews. They also requested a firm timeline for discovery completion and proposed an April or May 2025 trial date, emphasizing Combs' right to a speedy trial. Additionally, they plan to file a motion related to leaks of grand jury information.(commercial at 7:59)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.33.0_6.pdf (courtlistener.com)gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.29.0.pdf (courtlistener.com)
