No new lawsuits were filed Monday against Bishop Eddie Long.

Attorney B. J. Bernstein told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that no new suits would be filed on Monday. Bernstein was in DeKalb for a murder trial.

Last week, Bernstein filed four lawsuits on behalf of young men who allege Long coerced them into having sex. The suits were filed against Long and New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.

On Sunday, Long told his congregation that he will fight the allegations.
