Re:

Doe v. Combs, et. al., Case No. 24-cv-07778 (JLR)

Dear Judge Rochon:
We write jointly on behalf of the Plaintiff in this action and defendants Sean Combs,
Daddy’s House Recordings Inc., CEOpCo, LLC d/b/a Combs Global f/k/a Combs
Enterprises, LLC, Bad Boy Entertainment Holdings, Inc., Bad Boy Productions Holdings,
Inc., Bad Boy Books Holdings, Inc., Bad Boy Entertainment LLC, and Bad Boy
Productions LLC (the “Combs Defendants”).
The undersigned parties respectfully request that the Court’s previously ordered
deadline to submit a case management plan, currently scheduled for March 9, 2025, and
initial pretrial conference, currently scheduled for March 19, 2025, be adjourned pending
resolution of Defendants’ motions to dismiss. See ECF #29.
All parties believe that it will be more efficient to defer discovery pending
resolution of the motions to dismiss. If these motions are successful, they may result in
complete dismissal of this action in its entirety or against certain defendants, which could
significantly alter the scope of discovery that needs to be conducted.
Discovery in this matter is further complicated by the impending criminal trial of
Defendant Sean Combs, which is scheduled to begin before Judge Subramanian on May
5, 2025. See USA v. Combs, Case No. 24-cr-00542 (S.D.N.Y.). The parties agree that it
is impractical to proceed with various aspects of fact discovery involving Mr. Combs
until this criminal trial is concluded. Deferring a case schedule pending the motions to
dismiss will therefore have the added benefit of allowing time for the criminal matter to
conclude.
