Overview
- The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California granted Jay‑Z’s motion to dismiss and decided the matter without oral argument.
- The suit was filed by Lillie Coley, legal guardian and godmother to Rymir Satterthwaite, who alleges the rapper is his biological father.
- Dismissal with prejudice blocks any attempt to refile the same federal claim or compel a DNA test in this case.
- The judge also allowed Jay‑Z to seek recovery of litigation costs from Coley.
- The decision follows years of litigation across multiple states and public calls for DNA testing, which Jay‑Z’s lawyers have repeatedly rejected as fabricated harassment.
