U.S. Magistrate Judge James Wicks of the Eastern District of New York on Wednesday took the unusual step of granting a motion to disqualify counsel in a case seeking damages from Nassau County and several law enforcement officers in a wrongful conviction case.
Wicks found that Sokoloff Stern, a firm representing the defendants, also represented a Nassau County assistant district attorney who raised concerns about the police conduct at issue in the case.
