Representation question

[Anyone2012]

A defendant being sued in her official capacity resigns as sheriff while litigation is pending. She is later appointed to another position within the state government, not the sheriffs office.

Does the new agency's general counsel now represent her, or does the sheriffs general counsel still represent her.

Both agencies have web-sites, I bet, with phone numbers and e-mail addresses. Have you contacted each general council and asked this question? My guess is that the Sheriff's dept will handle this matter. But why rely on my guess when you can ask?

Does the English noun/adverb “CONFIDENTIALITY” have any meaning to you? Apparently not.

Who represents is more related to their contracts and facts than to this issues' facts. But, at the end, who cares? Such a person will be represented.

I was trying to determine whether or not to be expecting a request for more time to prepare from a newly appearing attorney...but tranquilt is right, they will be represented t doesn't matter

File a motion to strike the appearance if you wish to challenge the lawyer's representation.

...which has absolutely nothing to do with the OP's question.
