NEW YORK (WABC) -- Sean Combs on Friday abandoned his attempt to get released on bail, according to a new court filing.

The filing includes a signed statement from Combs, certifying he understands the ramifications of dismissing the appeal.
"Mr. Combs hereby states that (a) counsel has explained the effect of voluntary dismissal of the appeal; (b) he understands counsel's explanation, and (c) he desires to withdraw and voluntarily dismiss the appeal."
