St. Lunatic’s Ali Drops Lawsuit Against Nelly

“Plaintiff’s counsel succeeded in its frivolous campaign aimed at forcing Haynes to spend money defending Plaintiff’s ridiculous time-barred claims,” Freundlich stated in response to Ali’s request. “The Court is respectfully requested to retain jurisdiction and set a briefing and hearing schedule for [potential sanctions].”

In November, Ali’s attorneys filed a revised version of the lawsuit, only placing Ali as the plaintiff. Yet, Nelly’s attorneys said the suit was filed years after the statute of limitations had expired. In January, they stated that Ali’s attorneys should be penalized for bringing this action to court.

“Plaintiff and his counsel should be sanctioned in the full amount … that Haynes has been forced to incur in defending this action,” Nelly’s attorneys wrote at the time. “That is because plaintiff’s claims should never have been brought in the first place.”

In March, the judge said he would not rule on that motion until he decided whether to dismiss the case.
