Fat Joe Defamation Lawsuit Lawyer Tyrone Blackburn Files Motion To Withdraw As Counsel

Tyrone Blackburn has asked to step away from the court battle. The controversial lawyer has filed a motion asking a federal judge to allow him to withdraw as counsel for Terrance Dixon in his ongoing lawsuit involving Fat Joe, who in legal docs is identified as Joseph Antonio Cartagena. In a filing Tuesday Blackburn asked a judge for permission to leave his role representing Dixon, citing a "non-waivable conflict of interest that has arisen.” He also said the request was based on "considerations of the personal safety and well-being of undersigned counsel." Although he wants to stop representing Dixon, Blackburn and his law firm remain defendants in the lawsuit and plan to continue representing themselves.
