Overview
- The court granted Jay‑Z’s motion to dismiss and barred refiling, concluding the matter without oral argument.
- The judge denied the plaintiff’s request to amend the complaint, ruling that any amendment would be futile.
- After signaling an appeal, Lillie Coley withdrew the notice and said she will seek reconsideration.
- An earlier bid for an emergency restraining order was rejected, opening the door for Jay‑Z to seek costs or sanctions.
- The ruling follows years of multi‑state attempts to compel DNA testing, including a 2010 result excluding Robert Graves, as Jay‑Z’s lawyers characterize the claims as harassment.
