联邦法官取消代理美国检察官比尔·埃萨伊利在三起案件中的资格
摘要
一名联邦法官因代理美国检察官比尔·埃萨伊利的任期超出法律限制，取消了他监督三起刑事案件的资格。
一名联邦法官取消了代理美国检察官比尔·埃萨伊利在南加州监督三起刑事案件的资格，裁定他的任期已超过联邦法律规定的120天限制。美国地方法院法官J·迈克尔·西布赖特认定，埃萨伊利自其临时任命于7月29日到期后，一直非法担任该职务。
这一裁决再次挑战了特朗普政府试图延长代理美国检察官任期超过法定限制的做法。类似的裁决此前也发生在内华达州和新泽西州，法官发现代理美国检察官西加尔·查塔和阿丽娜·哈巴的任期均超出了法律规定。然而，在查塔的案件中，法官暂时暂停了取消资格的决定，等待上诉法院的审查。
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，联邦地区法院法官可以任命临时检察官，直到职位被填补。埃萨伊利尚未获得美国参议院的确认。他的办公室未立即回应置评请求。
