***AND RE: SARCONE: The Justice Department said Friday it plans to take a dispute over the authority of a top federal prosecutor in New York to the Supreme Court after an appeals court upheld his disqualification from investigations involving state Attorney General Letitia James.  The Justice Department stated it will appeal a 2-1 Second Circuit ruling to the Supreme Court regarding the authority of an unconfirmed acting U.S. Attorney, according to a statement posted by the DOJ. While the DOJ has announced its intent, it has not yet filed the formal Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, which will be accessible via the Supreme Court docket. Information regarding the case can be tracked via the Second Circuit, and you can view the Supreme Court docket for future filings.
