(EXCLUSIVE) Frank Ocean’s Dad Loses $142 Million Legal Battle Against Russell Simmons

Cooksey explained to the court that he couldn’t afford to pay the costs to file the lawsuit and asked them to waive the fees since he is unemployed and cannot recall his last job. He explains that he lives off social security disability income of $789.66 a month.

However, on November 5th the federal court judge came back and thew out the entire lawsuit and awarded Cooksey nothing from the $142 million he demanded. The judge noted in the order that Frank’s dad did not provide any proof that the case should be heard in New York court.

The judge not only threw out the entire case but shut down any chance of appeal that Cooksey had by denying him the right to appeal the decision. The case was closed the same day.

    It’s a wrap, at least financially for Frank Ocean’s father. theJasmineBRAND.com exclusively reports that he has lost his $142 million legal battle against Russell Simmons, with a federal court judge throwing out his lawsuit alleging he had been defamed by the music mogul when he posted an article about him being a deadbeat father. ahhh, IT’S NOT A WRAP DUMMIES. THE DISTRICT COURT failed to grant COOKSEY am evidentiary hearing, which violates due process under the 14th amendment. plus, the COOKSEY is pro se, and should have been given the opportunity to amend. yawl, be lying… it’s not over yet. one sided ass THE JAMINE BRAND, kissing Simmons and my sons butts! that’s my opinion of this blog BIAS AGAINST THE UN FAMOUS!!!!!
