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.
The order was granted after the government's motion to stay the ruling against Sigal Chattah's appointment pending an appeal to the Ninth Circuit.
Background
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 the workaround violates the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.
- Campbell, a senior judge for the district of Arizona, sided with them in an order issued last month.
No statement from the parties involved was available at the time of reporting.
