This ruling followed two motions filed by Jay-Z's attorney Alex Spiro calling for the plaintiff's identity to be divulged and for the outright dismissal of her complaint. Torres denied both requests. In her ruling, Torres wrote, "The Court will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it."

Jay-Z has moved one step closer in his legal effort to dismiss a lawsuit accusing him of the 2000 rape of a 13-year-old girl.
