Overview

  • Judge Tiana J. Murillo vacated the August 18 trial date in the suit by Adam Rahman and Mark Schaefer against Kodak Black.
  • She ordered the plaintiffs to submit a revised default judgment entry by August 25 to seek $10.6 million in damages.
  • Their prior default applications for $62 million and $10.6 million were rejected over inadequate documentation of medical expenses and pain and suffering.
  • Kodak Black’s lawyer Bradford Cohen contends the rapper was never properly served with the lawsuit and disputes any liability.
  • The case traces back to a February 12, 2022 shooting outside The Nice Guy in West Hollywood after a Justin Bieber Super Bowl LVI after-party that wounded multiple bystanders and the rapper himself.
