Overview
- The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California dismissed the suit Wednesday with prejudice, barring any refiling or court-ordered DNA test in this case.
- The complaint was filed by Lillie Coley as godmother and legal guardian of Rymir Satterthwaite, who alleges Jay‑Z fathered him with Wanda Satterthwaite in the 1990s.
- Court filings note a 2010 paternity test excluded Wanda’s then‑boyfriend Robert Graves as the father.
- Coley and Satterthwaite pursued related actions in New Jersey and Pennsylvania over years seeking to compel DNA testing.
- Jay‑Z denies the claim, and his lawyers have described the filings as a decades‑long campaign of harassment; Satterthwaite has said he wants only a DNA test and the truth.
