This ruling followed two motions filed by Jay-Z's attorney Alex Spiro calling for the plaintiff's identity to be divulged and for the outright dismissal of her complaint. Torres denied both requests. In her ruling, Torres wrote, "The Court will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it."

A federal judge in New York issued an order Thursday stating Jay-Z's attorney engaged in "ad hominem" and "inflammatory" attacks against Tony Buzbee.

While everyone was celebrating the holiday, it seems like Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter had a special gift for Texas attorney Tony Buzbee...in the form of a lawsuit.

Jay-Z is not taking the attacks and accusations lying down. The Hip Hop mogul has taken legal action against attorney Tony Buzbee, accusing him of defamation and extortion in response to a recent sexual assault allegation.

The Houston attorney, a flamboyant personality in his own right, has become a key player in the A-list hip-hop scandal.

Jay-Z’s case is a reflection of how far the legal system will go to ensure fairness, especially in cases that involve high-profile figures.

Tony Buzbee just received a small victory in court, according to reporter, Meghann Cuniff. As we previously reported, Jay-Z’s legal team filed paperwork earlier this month for the plaintiff to reveal her identity.
