Acting U.S. Attorney for Central California, Bill Essayli, is commenting on a judge’s ruling that he is unlawfully serving his role. Essayli says he is not planning on going anywhere. Federal Public Defender’s Office challenged his legitimacy in three pending criminal cases. They argue that Essayli improperly overstayed his interim appointment, warranting his removal. The ruling now means that Essayli is disqualified from participating in defendants’ prosecutions as acting U.S Attorney.
