Combs was convicted of two counts prostitution-related charges after an eight-week trial in July. The jury acquitted Combs of the sex trafficking and racketeering charges he faced.
The filing on Monday does not explain the grounds on which Combs will base his appeal, but his attorneys have previously argued the conviction should not stand because the statute, transportation for the purposes of prostitution, does not apply. However, in previous filings, the rapper’s legal team claimed that his conviction shouldn’t stand because the two prostitution charges did not apply to his conduct, as they are allegedly relics of the Mann Act that are now rarely used.
More detailed filings laying out Diddy’s reasoning behind his appeal are likely to be submitted in upcoming weeks.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Diddy’s representative but has not yet received a response.
