A judge has denied Justin Baldoni's request for an extension to depose Taylor Swift in his federal lawsuit against Blake Lively. Per documents obtained by Us Weekly on Friday, September 12, United States District Judge Lewis Liman ruled that Baldoni, 41, and his legal team had not "demonstrated good cause for their requested extension. The only justification they have provided for the extension is their assertion that Swift's preexisting professional obligations now prevent her from appearing for a deposition prior to October 20, 2025.
