The July 10 order reads less like a ruling and more like a professional obituary.<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate Judge Jennifer Willis granted Roc Nation\u2019s motion to strike Blackburn\u2019s opposition to their sanctions motion, meaning that motion now stands unopposed, with a ruling still coming. Roc Nation had argued his filing was late, blew past the word limit and was packed with AI-hallucinated citations.<\/p>\n<p>Blackburn put language in quotes on 17 different occasions that doesn\u2019t appear anywhere in the cases he cited them to, and he didn\u2019t dispute it. He argued the quotes were paraphrases that faithfully captured each holding, calling it the ordinary work of legal argument.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Willis wasn\u2019t having it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Court is deeply troubled by (1) Blackburn\u2019s use of language in quotation marks that does not exist in the cases he\u2019s citing the language for; (2) Blackburn\u2019s insistence that his behavior is acceptable because the cases exist even though the quoted language does not,\u201d she wrote, before adding his attacks on Roc Nation and his pattern of misrepresentations to the list.<\/p>\n<p>She then did something judges rarely bother with. She pulled out Merriam-Webster and defined the words \u201cquote\u201d and \u201cquotation mark\u201d for him inside the order, then pointed him to the Bluebook rules for altering quoted text. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><d class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&amp;apos;Are you ok?&amp;apos; Attorneys CLASH During Fat Joe Case #deposition #drama\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FLREatynvgc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/d><\/figure>\n<p>Courts treat quoted language as a promise that the case actually contains it, and Willis made clear she doesn\u2019t look kindly on lawyers who break that promise.<\/p>\n<p>His defense strategy made it worse. <\/p>\n<p>Blackburn counterattacked, accusing Roc Nation of 40 citation failures, and Willis checked each one herself. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather than take responsibility for the inaccurate representations in the opposition motion, Blackburn made baseless accusations against counsel for Roc Nation in attempt to deflect attention from himself,\u201d Willis wrote.<\/p>\n<p>This lands two days after Willis threatened him with contempt over a completely separate stunt. <\/p>\n<p>Blackburn attached a deposition transcript to his motion to withdraw from Terrance Dixon\u2019s case, a sworn statement from a grown woman claiming Fat Joe sexually abused her when she was 13 years old.<\/p>\n<p>He dropped it onto the public docket without notifying Fat Joe\u2019s attorneys or obtaining clearance under the court\u2019s protective order. Fat Joe\u2019s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, moved instantly to strike the material and seal it, and Willis sealed the entire docket entry that same day. <\/p>\n<p>Fat Joe has denied that allegation and every other one, calling it an extortion play, and none of the claims have been proven.<\/p>\n<p>Blackburn fired back a day later, arguing the protective order only covers discovery material and doesn\u2019t reach a statement from a woman who came forward on her own. He objected to sealing anything. Willis flagged the irony, since he recently pushed a sanctions motion accusing Fat Joe\u2019s team of leaking a transcript under that same order.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who\u2019s followed AllHipHop\u2019s coverage of Blackburn has seen this before.<\/p>\n<p>He represented Pastor Duane Youngblood against Bishop T.D. Jakes, who sued for defamation after Youngblood accused him of sexual misconduct dating back to the 1980s. Jakes denied all of it and said Youngblood tried to squeeze $6 million out of him before going public.<\/p>\n<p>Blackburn\u2019s briefs in that case came back full of fabricated case law and quotes that simply didn\u2019t exist. <\/p>\n<p>U.S. District Judge William Stickman in the Western District of Pennsylvania didn\u2019t hide his reaction. Stickman called it a clear ethical violation of the highest order and struck the motion to dismiss and reply brief from the record. <\/p>\n<p>Jakes\u2019 team said it burned over 140 hours cleaning up the mess and wanted around $76,000. Stickman went with a $5,000 fine aimed at deterrence and yanked Blackburn\u2019s status in the district.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is hitting while he\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/news\/exclusive-tyrone-blackburn-says-his-moms-tears-pushed-him-to-quit-fat-joe-case\/\">trying to walk away from the Fat Joe case entirely<\/a>.
