Anthony Ricco, one of several attorneys currently representing Sean “Diddy” Combs, has filed a motion requesting to withdraw as a member of the disgraced music mogul’s legal team.
The motion, filed Thursday in the Southern District of New York and obtained by TheWrap, includes a declaration in which Ricco asserts he is requesting to withdraw “as a result of discussions with lead counsel Mark Agnifilo.” Ricco’s declaration notes, “Although I have provided Sean Combs with the high level of legal representation expected by the court, under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs, consistent with the ABA Standards for Criminal Justice.”
