Sean Combs made it official Monday, filing a two-page notice of appeal confirming that he’s challenging both his conviction on his two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and his 50-month prison sentence.
The form, which was obtained by Rolling Stone , lists Alexandra A.E. Shapiro as Combs’ appellate attorney and was submitted in Manhattan federal court after Shapiro vowed a court challenge on the day of Combs’ Oct. 3 sentencing . More in-depth filings spelling out Combs’ arguments for why his conviction and sentence should be overturned are expected to be submitted to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in the coming weeks, where the case will go before a three-judge panel. (Attorneys for Combs did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone ‘s request for comment.)
