A New York judge has declined Justin Baldoni’s attempt to depose Taylor Swift late next month amid his enduring legal saga with her former best friend, Blake Lively.

Friday, Judge Lewis J. Liman approved Lively’s bid to extend discovery to Oct. 10, but denied Baldoni’s attempt to push it a month past the initial Sept. 30 deadline, according to documents obtained by People.

Baldoni’s request, if approved, would have allowed his lawyers to depose the Grammy winner, who allegedly “agreed to appear for deposition,” but only after Oct. 20 due to “preexisting professional obligations,” according to a letter submitted by Baldoni’s team on Thursday.

Per People, a lawyer for the “Bad Blood” singer said in their own letter that day that Swift “did not agree to a deposition,” but if “forced” into one, “her schedule would accommodate the time required during the week of Oct. 20 if the parties were able to work out their disputes.”

Those disputes do not appear to have been worked out, at least from Baldoni’s side of things.

Sharon Osbourne shares statement on Ozzy’s death

Sharon Osbourne is breaking her silence following the death of heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne in July.

The controversial TV host, 72, said on Instagram Friday that she’s “still having trouble finding the words to express how grateful” she is for the “overwhelming love and support” fans have shown in the wake of the Black Sabbath frontman’s passing.

She and Ozzy had been married since 1982.

“Your comments, posts and tributes have brought me more comfort than you know,” she captioned a video of herself and daughter Kelly bonding with birds at a falconry. “None of it has gone unnoticed, in fact, it’s carried me through many nights.”

Osbourne — who also shares daughter Amy and son Jack with Ozzy — said she’s “still finding (her) footing” after losing her longtime husband, but wanted to thank her supporters deeply “for the otherworldly amount of love” they continue to send her way.

The 76-year-old “Crazy Train” singer, who announced his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2020, died of a heart attack on July 22, just weeks after playing his farewell show in his hometown of Birmingham, England. He died less than a month after he and Sharon celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary.

Kelly, in early August, also thanked her supporters for “the love, support and beautiful messages” that she’d received. All that, she said, “truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life.”

Osbourne’s hometown funeral procession was livestreamed by tens of thousands of fans and attended in person by thousands more.
