Travis Scott has asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought against him following the tragedy at his Astroworld concert last month. Scott’s lawyer filed an answer to a lawsuit brought against the rapper by Jessie Garcia and issued a “general denial” to allegations in the lawsuit that Scott was responsible for the injuries and deaths at the November 5 concert. Scott asked for the suit to be “dismissed with prejudice,” which means it can’t be brought against him again.

The filing was made on behalf of Scott and his companies Jack Enterprises, Cactus Jack Foundations, Cactus Jack Records, and Cactus Jack Studios. Ten people died and hundreds were injured after the crowd surged at the concert. Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña previously said there were 50,000 in attendance and at around 9:30 p.m. the crowd compressed towards the stage as Scott was performing.

There have been close to 300 lawsuits filed against Scott and concert organizers. In one lawsuit, lawyers for Manuel Souza, a Houston resident who was trampled at the festival, said the tragedy was “predictable and preventable.”
