Overview
- A judgment signed Wednesday entered terminating sanctions, dismissed Christian Carlos’s December 2023 lawsuit and made Carlos and his attorney jointly liable for $29,225 plus Lil Wayne’s legal fees.
- The judge found the plaintiff willfully failed to follow three discovery orders over nearly ten months and made affirmative misrepresentations to the court, leaving the case without required responses.
- Carlos had alleged that in December 2021 at Wayne’s Hidden Hills home the rapper brandished a semiautomatic rifle, punched him and caused PTSD that required treatment and damages.
- The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department previously said it investigated a Dec. 1, 2021 verbal altercation in Hidden Hills, while sources close to Lil Wayne have denied the claims and said he did not own a gun.
- The ruling cancels a planned August trial, shifts the immediate financial burden to the plaintiff and his lawyer, and leaves open the possibility Lil Wayne’s team will seek further legal costs.
