Overview
- Judge Kristen Hawkins dismissed every claim against Roc Nation in the Texas filings, a ruling dated June 16 that found the state court had no authority over the company.
- The lawsuits named Roc Nation after a string of cases tied to a 2024–2025 sexual‑assault allegation that was withdrawn with prejudice in February 2025.
- Tony Buzbee has said he will appeal the Texas dismissal and intends to continue pursuing related claims in other courts.
- A jurisdictional dismissal stops the suits in that forum but does not rule on guilt or merit, and plaintiffs can often refile in a proper jurisdiction or press appeals.
- Related litigation remains active, including federal filings by Jay‑Z alleging fabricated threats and discovery schedules that keep the wider dispute and reputational and sanction risks alive.
