Judge grants Diddy speedy appeal timeline

A federal appeals judge granted Sean 'Diddy' Combs a speedy review of his case, days after he was transferred to a low-security federal prison in New Jersey to begin a 50-month sentence for two Mann Act convictions. Judge Beth Robinson set briefs due Dec. 23 and Feb. 20, with a reply by March 13 and potential oral arguments as early as April. He has spent 14 months behind bars. Combs, acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking counts, will argue the Mann Act was unfairly applied, his lawyer said.
