Federal prosecutors for now will not be able to use a notebook from Sean “Diddy” Combs’ cell in which the disgraced hip-hop mogul allegedly wrote that finding the “dirt” of two of his alleged victims was among his “to-dos.” “, a judge decided on Tuesday.

The disgraced music mogul, who wore a tan shirt and pants released from prison, scored a small legal victory when a judge ordered the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan to delete photos of 19 pages of the rapper’s notebook following a raid on his cell last month. .

The footage also cannot be used by prosecutors during another bond hearing for Combs, 55, on Friday, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian ruled.

The legal team for Combs, who faces sex-trafficking and racketeering charges, argued that the feds overstepped their authority when they confiscated the material from Combs in October, which the U.S. Attorney’s office said was during a broad sweep of the Metropolitan Detention Center.

One of Combs’ attorneys, Marc Agnifilo, called the feds’ conduct “outrageous” and argued their actions violated attorney-client privilege during the hearing.

“This was a complete institutional failure,” Agnifilo said.

But prosecutor Mary Slavik said the government obtained the notes as part of the ongoing Justice Department investigation into Combs’ alleged obstruction of justice, which could lead to more charges against him.

“The government received these materials through entirely appropriate channels,” she said.

She said the notebook was labeled “things to do” and contained notes from Combs about paying potential witnesses and digging up dirt on them and two alleged victims, which would void attorney-client protection requests.

The notebook also included unidentified “inspirational quotes,” the feds said.

Subramanian said for now he is keeping a copy of the notes until he decides whether prosecutors can use them to build an obstruction case against the “All About The Benjamins” rapper.

The “I’ll Be Missing You” singer was arrested in September and hit with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution charges. He pleaded not guilty.

He has since died in the hellish detention center in Brooklyn before his trial, despite his lawyers trying to get him out on bail several times. Combs is also facing a flurry of civil lawsuits filed in recent months.

Another hearing on his bail application is scheduled for Friday. The celebrity wants to be released on $50 million bail, but prosecutors have argued that he could tamper with witnesses if he is released.
