Damon Dash, the former owner of Roc-A-Fella Records, has found himself in hot water after being ordered to sell his businesses to pay off a debt. However, things have taken a serious turn as he has been threatened with jail time for failing to submit the necessary financial documents by the initial deadline.
According to AllHipHop, a hearing has been scheduled for July 31 for Dash to provide the requested documents. This order came after he failed to meet the first deadline to submit the ownership documents required to fulfill the court's order.
The latest order was issued by U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger, who expressed concern over Dash's "pattern of non-compliance and delay." In addition to the financial documents, the U.S. Marshal also needs paperwork to sell Dash's assets at a public auction in order to satisfy the judgment.
In light of his non-compliance, the judge has set a hearing for July 31 at 10 A.M. where Dash will have to explain why he should not face sanctions for his actions (or lack thereof). If he fails to appear, there is a possibility that a warrant for his arrest will be issued and he may also face financial penalties.
However, there is still a chance for Dash to avoid the hearing altogether. If he submits the necessary paperwork before July 30, per the judge's instructions, then the hearing will not be needed.
It's worth noting that this is not the first legal battle Dash has been involved in. In March, he was ordered to pay a $4 million default judgment to movie producer Josh Webber in an ongoing dispute over the film, Dear Frank. This judgment included interest and attorney fees and was the second time Webber had won a case against Dash.
Things took another turn in April when Webber filed a defamation claim against Dash after he appeared on the Earn Your Leisure podcast. During the interview, Dash made comments accusing Webber of stealing from him, resulting in a loss of business for the producer. This led to the $4 million defamation claim.
It's clear that Dash's legal troubles are far from over, and he will have to make a decision on whether to comply with the court's orders or face the consequences. So far, it seems that his failure to submit the necessary documents has only added fuel to the fire.
