Jackson was arrested in April 2018 on suspicion he extorted Hart.

Jackson claims Hart instigated the theory to prosecutors that Jackson was behind the extortion.

A representative for Jackson said Friday he plans to appeal the judges ruling.

Harts lawyer, Donte Mills, responded to the ruling in an email toRolling Stone.

We will hold people to their agreements, he said.
