One of the indicted former name partners of New York’s Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman has moved to dismiss federal criminal charges against him.

Steven G. Schulman, along with the firm and fellow name partner David J. Bershad, was indicted last May by Los Angeles federal prosecutors for allegedly paying illegal kickbacks to individuals serving as lead plaintiffs in securities class actions lawsuits brought by the firm. All three have pleaded not guilty.
