Federal Judge Pauses Order Disqualifying US Attorney for Nevada
A federal judge has paused his order disqualifying the acting U.S. attorney for Nevada from overseeing several criminal cases.
U.S. Judge Campbell granted the government's motion to stay his ruling against Sigal Chattah's appointment pending an appeal to the Ninth Circuit.
Chattah was initially appointed by President Donald Trump as Nevada's interim U.S. attorney and was later reclassified as the "acting" U.S. attorney, bypassing the Senate confirmation process.
Federal public defenders in four criminal cases filed motions arguing that this workaround violates the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.
Judge Campbell, a senior judge for the district of Arizona, initially sided with the defenders in an order issued last month.
No comment from the parties involved was available at the time of reporting.
