The State Bar of Georgia has dismissed a complaint that Fulton County Superior Court Judge Wendy Shoob filed against an assistant district attorney, whom the judge said had crossed ethical lines by allowing her investigator to contact a criminal defendant without notifying his attorney.

At the same time she filed the complaint, Shoob also issued an order recusing from hearing any cases involving the prosecutor, Irina Khasin, whom Fulton DA Paul Howard has since promoted to head the human trafficking unit.
