Suge Knight fired his fourth lawyer, Tom Mesereau, today (January 21), TMZ reports.

In court today, the judge announced that the former head of Death Row Records and his attorney were parting ways.

The room was cleared before the reasoning was revealed, but the site’s sources say that Mesereau and Knight had a disagreement over confidential information. Knight was reportedly upset when said information found its way into the hands of law enforcement.

Knight is scheduled to appear in court February 26 when his trial start date will be set.
