                     IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                        FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,                              No. 1:24-CR-00267

         v.                                                (Chief Judge Brann)*

    ADRIENNE PONZO,

                Defendant.

                                           ORDER

                                     DECEMBER 15, 2025

        Now pending before the Court is the Defendant’s motion to stay the prosecution and

disqualify Alina Habba from prosecuting this case as the Acting United States Attorney for

the District of New Jersey. As it appears that Ms. Habba no longer purports to exercise the

functions and duties of the office of the United States Attorney for the District of New

Jersey in any capacity,1 no relief remains to be granted on the pending motion.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

        1.     The motion to disqualify and stay (Doc. 107) is DENIED AS MOOT;

        2.     The Clerk is directed to transfer this matter back to the originally presiding

               judge.

                                                   BY THE COURT:


                                                   s/ Matthew W. Brann
                                                   Matthew W. Brann
                                                   Chief United States District Judge for the
                                                   Middle District of Pennsylvania
                                                   Specially Presiding
*
     The Honorable Matthew W. Brann, Chief United States District Judge for the Middle District
     of Pennsylvania, sitting by designation.
