Clearinghouse coding in progress

Case Summary

This is one of three criminal prosecutions involving a motion to disqualify Bilal A. Essayli as Acting United States Attorney for the State of California. In each case, Defendants alleged that Essayli unlawfully assumed the role and has been unlawfully serving in that capacity since June 29, 2025. Defendants urged that Essayli may not perform the functions and duties of the United States Attorney as Acting United States Attorney, arguing that the indictments under Essayli were invalid. The defendant's motion was consolidated with substantially similar motions in  U.S. v. Ramirez  where the events of this case have been summarized.
