Bieber ordered to show up in court

-

A Florida judge has ordered pop star Justin Bieber to sit down for a deposition within the next 30 days or face the threat of being arrested and brought to court.

Circuit Judge Jerald Bagley issued the order in Miami.

The order compels Bieber to sit for a deposition in a lawsuit filed by a photograph­er who got into an altercatio­n with one of the singer’s bodyguards two years ago in Miami Beach.

The photograph­er’s attorney says he has been unable to get Bieber to sit for the deposition. Attorney Mark DiCowden says Bieber isn’t entitled to any special treatment just because he’s a celebrity.

Bieber’s attorney, John Atkinson, didn’t immediatel­y respond to an email seeking comment.
