FILE - In this Feb. 3, 2016 file photo, actor and comedian Bill Cosby arrives for a court appearance in Norristown, Pa. Cosby's lawyers are scheduled to argue Monday, Feb. 29, 2016 in Los Angeles that a defamation lawsuit by model Janice Dickinson should be dismissed because she has told differing accounts of a 1982 incident with the comedian. Dickinson has recently said Cosby drugged and raped her in Lake Tahoe, Calif., in 1982, but Cosby's attorneys say her earlier descriptions of Cosby getting angry after she refused to sleep with him show that she is lying and her lawsuit cannot continue.
