00:00 A New York judge has denied a motion to dismiss the case against Jonathan Majors, meaning

00:04 his trial will move forward.

00:07 The Marvel actor is facing misdemeanor assault and harassment charges, and his trial has

00:12 been set for November 29.

00:14 The defense additionally filed a motion under seal requesting that certain evidentiary matter

00:19 continue to be under seal outside of public view.

00:22 The defense argued that this evidence contained sensitive information that could jeopardize

00:27 Majors' right to a fair trial.

00:29 Majors faces four misdemeanor charges of harassment and assault, stemming from his March 25 arrest

00:35 following an alleged domestic violence incident.

00:37 Police responded to a 911 call where a 30-year-old woman, later identified as Grace Jabari, reported

00:43 being assaulted by Majors.

00:45 Police noted that she had sustained minor injuries.

00:48 Majors was released from police custody later that day.

00:51 In June, the "Loki" actor filed a cross-complaint against Jabari, alleging that she attacked

00:56 him that night.

00:57 His attorney, Priya Chaudhary, has denied all wrongdoing on behalf of her client, and

01:01 has said that he had called 911 out of concern for Jabari's mental health.

01:06 Overall, the two parties disagree on the perpetrators of the event.

01:10 While Chaudhary has claimed her client is innocent and that Jabari was the aggressor,

01:14 the state claims that the events of March 25 began when the two were riding in a car

01:18 and Jabari saw a message on Majors' phone that read "Wish I was kissing you right now"

01:23 and reached over to grab the phone.

01:25 Majors then allegedly grabbed her hand, twisted her forearm, struck her ear, and later threw

01:30 her back inside the car after she had exited.

01:33 Jabari "sustained substantial pain, including a fractured finger, bruising about her body,

01:38 a laceration behind her right ear, and a bump on her head," according to the court docs.
