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 by Judge Campbell on Thursday, pending an appeal to the Ninth Circuit, in response to the government's motion to stay his ruling against Sigal Chattah's appointment.
Background
Sigal 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 argued that this workaround violates the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, a motion that Judge Campbell, a senior judge for the district of Arizona, sided with in an order issued last month.
The government's motion to stay the ruling has been granted, pending an appeal to the Ninth Circuit.
