Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, has asked for a quick decision on his appeal.

After being sentenced to 50 months in prison, Sean "Diddy" Combs and his legal team are taking action to expedite his appeal. According to recent reports, they have filed a request with a federal appeals court to fast-track the process of appealing his two convictions related to prostitution. The team argues that if the appeal is not heard in a timely manner, Combs could potentially complete his sentence before it is even considered.

Combs' lawyer, Alexandra Shapiro, emphasized the need for an expedited schedule in order to prevent his appeal from becoming moot while he is still behind bars. With Combs having already served 14 months and the possibility of sentence reductions, it is uncertain how much longer he will be incarcerated. The Bureau of Prisons has listed his expected release date as May 8, 2028, but this could change.

Combs was convicted last month on two counts of violating the Mann Act, which prohibits the transportation of individuals for the purpose of prostitution. However, he was acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. His legal team plans to appeal these convictions, arguing that the Mann Act was misapplied in his case.

Shapiro stated that Combs' appeal will challenge the use of the Mann Act to prosecute him for consensual sex with adults, calling the statute infamous and with a sordid history. The filing also details their plan to challenge his conviction and sentencing on the prostitution charges, stating that he had no financial motive for transporting male escorts and only wanted to observe them with his girlfriends.

In order to ensure that Combs can fully benefit from any potential ruling in his favor, his lawyers have proposed an expedited schedule for the court's consideration of his appeal. They believe this is necessary to prevent his appeal from becoming irrelevant while he is still serving his sentence. With Combs' release date approaching, it is crucial for the appeal process to move quickly and efficiently.
