UPDATE: Tuesday, Feb. 9 (1:08 p.m. ET) – Following last week’s courtroom defeat, with a judge ordering Bill Cosby to stand trial for indecent assault in Pennsylvania, Bill Cosby was dealt a bit of good news on the other side of the country with a California judge throwing out the amended complaint filed by Janice Dickinson in her defamation suit against Cosby.

As reported by Deadline, Judge Debra Weintraub struck the first amendment from Dickinson’s suit, and dismissed former Cosby attorney from the case (Dickinson had added the attorney to her defamation suit).

“The court finds that the first amended complaint is properly striken,” said the judge, adding that “defendant Cosby’s motion to strike is granted.”

Dickinson maintains that Cosby raped her in 1982, and claims that Singer (who was Cosby’s attorney at the time) called her a “liar” in late 2014 when she made the shocking allegations on Entertainment Tonight.

UPDATE: Monday, November 2 (9:28 p.m. ET) – Bill Cosby plans to appeal a judge’s order to be deposed for Janice Dickinson’s defamation lawsuit, and a rep for the accused comedian has issued the following statement:

“The Court’s unfortunate but not surprising ruling permitting a limited deposition of Mr. Cosby regarding the statements of his former attorney Martin Singer was legally incorrect and deprives Mr. Cosby of a right well-settled under California law to have his motion to strike heard before unnecessary, expensive and burdensome discovery.  It is disturbing that Mr. Cosby is not receiving the same protections as every other defense litigant in California. We intend to  appeal the Court’s decision.”;

Bill Cosby and his former lawyer Marty Singer will have to give new depositions in relation to Janice Dickinson’s defamation case regarding her accusations of being drugged and sexually assaulted by the once-beloved former Cosby Show star.

According to Variety, judge Debra K. Weintraub made the decision in L.A. Superior Court today, relating to an interview Dickinson gave to Entertainment Tonight in which she accused Cosby of drugging and raping her in 1982.

Following the interview, Singer issued a statement of denial saying Dickinson’s story was “completely fabricated,” and characterized her claim a “an outrageous defamatory lie.”

In her subsequent lawsuit, Dickinson is suing Cosby for defaming her character, stating that Cosby’s denial was made “with the intent and effect of revictimizing her and destroying the professional reputation she’s spent decades building.”

Cosby and Singer — who parted ways just a few weeks ago — have until Nov. 25 to give their depositions.

This isn’t the only deposition the 78-year-old comedian has been forced to give; Cosby was deposed on Oct. 9 regarding the suit filed by Judy Huth regarding her claims that Cosby assaulted her in the Playboy Mansion back in 1974, when she was only 15 (that deposition will be unsealed on Dec. 22). In addition, model Chloe Goins has also sued Cosby, claiming he sexually assasulted in 2008, also at the Playboy Mansion.
