Diddy’s Appeal Fast-Tracked as He Serves at Low-Security Fort Dix

A federal judge set an expedited briefing calendar that positions the case for possible arguments in April 2026.

Overview

  • After an Oct. 30 transfer from MDC Brooklyn, he is housed at low-security FCI Fort Dix, which his lawyers sought for safety and drug-treatment programming.
  • Judge Beth Robinson approved an accelerated appeal: opening brief due Dec. 23, government response Feb. 20, and reply Mar. 13, with potential oral argument in April 2026.
  • He is serving a 50-month term imposed Oct. 3 on two Mann Act transportation counts, plus a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release after acquittals on trafficking and racketeering.
  • The Bureau of Prisons lists a projected release date of May 8, 2028, which could change with credits and program participation.
  • Photos show him socializing with inmates, including former NBA player Sebastian Telfair, as unverified reports circulate that he is telling prisoners he expects a Trump pardon that the White House has disputed as imminent.
