Case Overview

The government appealed Senior United States District Judge McGowan Currie's orders granting Comey and James' motions to dismiss which also found that Lindsey Halligan's appointment to serve as U.S. attorney was unlawful. The appeals were consolidated on Jan. 12, 2026.


The Application

History

District Judge McGowan Currie found both that the dismissal motions had merit and that Halligan lacked proper authority to serve as U.S. attorney, prompting the government's appeal of both determinations to the Fourth Circuit.

The Conclusion

The consolidated appeal remains active in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals as of January 12, 2026, challenging the dismissal orders and the adverse ruling on the appointment.
