联邦法官取消比尔·埃萨伊利作为洛杉矶代理美国检察官资格
摘要
一名联邦法官裁定比尔·埃萨伊利非法担任加利福尼亚中区代理美国检察官，取消其监督某些刑事案件的资格。
一名联邦法官已取消比尔·埃萨伊利担任加利福尼亚中区代理美国检察官的资格，裁定他非法担任该职务。美国地区法官J·迈克尔·西布赖特认定，埃萨伊利的权限于2025年7月29日到期，自那时起他一直非法担任该职务。
“简单来说：埃萨伊利非法担任了加利福尼亚中区代理美国检察官一职，”西布赖特在裁决中写道。“自2025年7月29日他辞去临时职务以来，他一直非法以该身份履职。埃萨伊利不得以代理美国检察官的身份执行美国检察官的职能和职责。他被取消担任该职务的资格。”
该裁决影响了埃萨伊利对三起刑事案件的监督，但并未撤销起诉书，因为其他检察官合法签署了这些起诉书。此决定与新泽西和内华达州的类似裁决相呼应，当地代理美国检察官因超出临时任期而被取消资格。
根据联邦法律，如果永久美国检察官未在120天内被提名并确认，地区法院法官可以任命临时继任者。埃萨伊利于今年四月由司法部长帕姆·邦迪任命，但尚未获得参议院确认。
埃萨伊利办公室未立即回应置评请求。
