The California appeals court has allowed a lower court to order discovery in Jay-Z’s lawsuit against Tony Buzbee, maintaining the previous ruling that Hov could not sue Buzbee again after a court dismissed his lawsuit over defamation and extortion last year. Previously, court authorities ruled Hov could not sue Buzbee again after a court dismissed his lawsuit over defamation and extortion last year. The Roc Nation mogul’s attorney had previously argued that Jane Doe’s admission to making false allegations should allow for the Tony Buzbee lawsuit to reopen. If an appeals court agrees with a trial court’s approval in a discovery process, the legal battle could continue. The Court of Appeal denied the petition for rehearing and the request to consider Jane Doe’s new declaration without even requesting a response. Buzbee’s lawyers reportedly stated that the Court simply noted that the trial court retains its existing authority to consider new evidence if it chooses to do so. We are confident in the ruling and prepared to address whatever comes next.
