Overview
- U.S. Circuit Judge Beth Robinson approved an expedited schedule with Combs’ brief due Dec. 23, the government’s on Feb. 20, and a reply by March 13, targeting oral arguments in early April 2026.
- The Bureau of Prisons transferred Combs on Oct. 30 from MDC Brooklyn to low‑security FCI Fort Dix, a placement his lawyers sought for safety, family access and entry to the facility’s drug treatment program.
- BOP records show a projected release date of May 8, 2028, which can shift based on good‑time and First Step Act program credits.
- Photos published by TMZ show Combs smiling and socializing in the Fort Dix yard, including with former NBA player Sebastian Telfair, according to Telfair’s publicist.
- Media reports citing unnamed prison sources say Combs has told inmates he expects a Trump pardon in early 2026, but the White House has disputed reports of imminent clemency and no action has been announced.
