Factual Allegations
Disclaimer: allegations as pled by the plaintiff, summarized with the help of AI.

Same core defendants (Combs, Kenneth Meiselas, Bad Boy Entertainment, Inc.) as Burrowes's 2004 contract/fraud/conversion suit (0104225/2004) -- an "Other Torts" companion or continuation of the same underlying 1992-2001 dispute over Burrowes's promised Bad Boy equity stake and the alleged May 1996 baseball-bat coercion (see that case for the detailed factual narrative). The complaint itself was not on file for this record. Resolved by stipulation of discontinuance with prejudice on 09/14/2007 -- plaintiff voluntarily dismissed against all defendants without any monetary payment, each side bearing its own costs. Not sexual-assault-related.
