Tony Buzbee Withdraws From Diddy Lawsuit Over Practice Eligibility

Houston attorney Tony Buzbee has withdrawn from a sex trafficking lawsuit against Sean 'Diddy' Combs due to his inability to practice law in the Southern District of New York. This decision followed a federal judge's order for Buzbee to explain his failure to disclose his ineligibility. Buzbee acknowledged an 'error in judgment' and stated that his withdrawal aims to refocus attention on the case rather than his admission issues. While Buzbee is licensed in New York state courts, he is not admitted to practice in federal court, prompting him to allow colleagues from Curis Law to continue representing the plaintiff. Buzbee plans to file cases in Nevada and California while sorting out his admission status. Combs, currently facing racketeering and sex trafficking charges, is awaiting trial.
