(NewsNation) — After two judges denied Sean “Diddy” Combs bail, the rapper may have a third opportunity to argue he be freed as he deals with a long list of sex trafficking, racketeering and other charges.

A new judge, U.S. District Court Judge Arun Subramanian, is now in charge of the case against Combs. Court documents show that he was assigned the case Thursday.

While his legal team hasn’t commented, the assignment of a new judge potentially opens the door for a third bail hearing. For the moment, Combs’ lawyers have not asked for such a hearing.

However, his attorneys continue to pursue an appeal of an earlier ruling denying Combs bail. On Monday, his lawyers filed a notice of appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York asking that the bail ruling by Judge Andrew L. Carter be overturned.

Judge Subramanian has added the Combs case to an already busy schedule. He is hearing the federal government’s antitrust case against Ticketmaster’s parent company, Live Nation Entertainment.

While that case may not go to trial until 2026, Subramanian will preside over a long, complicated pretrial process.
