A federal judge has approved Jay-Z's request to file a motion to dismiss a sexual assault lawsuit filed by an anonymous Jane Doe plaintiff. The lawsuit alleges that Jay-Z sexually assaulted the plaintiff when she was 13 years old.

Key Details of the Case:

• Jay-Z strongly denies the allegations and has previously attempted to reveal the accuser's identity
• The rapper was officially served with the lawsuit last month
• The dismissal motion argues the case is time-barred under multiple laws

Legal Arguments:

• Jay-Z claims the suit cannot proceed under the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act because the law was enacted after the alleged incident
• The defense argues the alleged location falls outside New York City boundaries, which is legally significant
• The lawsuit is also claimed to be time-barred under New York's Child Victims Act

Important Dates:

• February 6th: Deadline for Jay-Z to file dismissal motion
• February 28th: Deadline for plaintiff's opposition papers
• March 14th: Deadline for Jay-Z's reply

The plaintiff's attorney argues that dismissing the case would contradict the law's intention to help victims of gender-motivated violence seek civil remedies. The court will review all arguments after the motions are filed.
