In paperwork filed Monday night in a Los Angeles Superior Court, attorneys for Alec Baldwin sought to have the lawsuit filed against him and other producers on the film, by “Rust” script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, dismissed.The attorneys, at the law firm Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP which represent “Rust” producers in this case, argue that because the “Rust” shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on Oct. 21 happened in New Mexico, the matter falls under that state’s laws.

Alec Baldwin and his fellow "Rust" producers have filed to dismiss one of the lawsuits taking aim at them. In a motion obtained by Fox News Digital, Baldwin and other producers have requested that the court toss the complaint "without leave to amend." The suit was originally filed in November by script supervisor Mamie Mitchell – who is being represented by famed attorney Gloria Allred following the events that led to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injury of director Joel Souza.

Others who have signed on to the letter include Fat Joe, Kelly Rowland and Killer Mike.The bill, brought forward by Democrat senators Brad Hoylman and Jamaal Bailey and assembly member Catalina Cruz, would limit a defendant’s music or other “creative expression” being shown to a jury in criminal trials, requiring prosecutors to provide “clear and convincing evidence” that that expression is “literal, rather than figurative or fictional”.Highlighting the disparity between rap lyrics being used as evidence with other forms of expression, Hoylman provides two examples – no one, he says, believes Johnny Cash “shot a man in Reno just to watch him die“, nor that David Byrne is a “psycho killer“.“This is an issue that’s important to [Jay-Z, aka Sean Carter] and all the other artists that have come together to try to bring about this change.
