Ho Wan Kwok (Miles Guo), SDNY 1:23-cr-00118, ECF #117 (filed July 28, 2023). The government requests the court's approval of a briefing schedule for its motion to disqualify Emil Bove as counsel for defendant Yanping Wang, citing Bove's role as supervisor of the National Security and International Narcotics Unit from September 2019 through January 2022, during which the unit investigated co-defendant Ho Wan Kwok; the court granted the proposed schedule.","body_en":"July 28, 2023\n\nVIA ECF\nHon. Analisa Torres\nDaniel Patrick Moynihan\nUnited States Courthouse\n500 Pearl St.\nNew York, NY 10007-1312\n\nRe:\nUnited States v. Yanping Wang, a/k/a “Yvette,” S1 23 Cr. 118 (AT)\nDear Judge Torres:\nThe Government writes further to its letter dated July 24, 2023 (Dkt. 114), and to request\nthe Court order the briefing schedule proposed below for a motion to disqualify Emil Bove as\ncounsel to Yanping Wang.\n\nBy way of background, on July 22, 2023, Emil Bove filed a notice of appearance in this\nmatter indicating that Bove intended to represent Wang.  The same day, Bove filed a motion\nseeking to replace Priya Chaudhry as Wang’s lead counsel, while Alex Lipman would remain as\nadditional counsel to Wang.  (Dkt. 113-1.)  The Government next requested that the Court stay\nconsideration of Bove’s motion to substitute so that Bove and the Government could discuss\npotential conflict issues.\n\nThose conflict issues relate to Bove’s role as a supervisor of the National Security and\nInternational Narcotics Unit in the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of\nNew York (“NSIN”) from approximately September 2019 through approximately January 2022.\nWhile Bove was supervisor, that unit investigated Wang’s co-defendant, Ho Wan Kwok.  After\nBove filed his notice of appearance, the Government advised Bove that it believes his proposed\nrepresentation of Wang in this matter implicates the conflict-of-interest provisions of applicable\nrules of professional conduct.  Specifically, former government attorneys “shall not represent a\nclient in connection with a matter in which the lawyer participated personally and substantially as\na public officer or employee.”  New York Rule of Professional Conduct 1.11(a)(2).  These\nprovisions, and others, were discussed with Bove who respectfully disagrees with the\nGovernment’s interpretation of them, necessitating this Court’s intervention.\n\nThe Silvio J.

Yanping Wang, a/k/a “Yvette,” S1 23 Cr. 118 (AT)（美国 诉 王雁平，又名“Yvette”，S1 23 Cr. 118 (AT)）\n尊敬的托雷斯法官：\n政府特此就2023年7月24日致函（Dkt. 114）作进一步说明，并请求法院就取消 Emil Bove（埃米尔·博夫）作为 Yanping Wang（王雁平）辩护律师资格的动议，裁定采纳以下拟定的简报日程。\n\n作为背景说明，2023年7月22日，埃米尔·博夫就本案提交了出庭通知，表明博夫打算代表王雁平。同日，博夫提交了一项动议，寻求取代 Priya Chaudhry（普里亚·乔杜里）作为王雁平的首席辩护律师，而 Alex Lipman（亚历克斯·利普曼）仍将作为王雁平的附加辩护律师。（Dkt. 113-1。）随后，政府请求法院暂缓审理博夫更换律师的动议，以便博夫与政府能够就潜在的利益冲突问题进行讨论。\n\n上述利益冲突问题涉及博夫在大约2019年9月至大约2022年1月期间担任 United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York（纽约南区联邦检察官办公室）National Security and International Narcotics Unit（国家安全与国际麻醉品事务处，“NSIN”）主管职务的经历。在博夫担任主管期间，该部门对王雁平的同案被告 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）进行了调查。在博夫提交出庭通知后，政府告知博夫，认为其拟在本案中代表王雁平的行为触及了适用的执业行为守则中关于利益冲突的规定。具体而言，前政府律师“不得在作为公职人员或雇员期间曾亲自且实质性参与的事务中代表当事人。”《纽约州执业行为守则》（New York Rule of Professional Conduct）第 1.11(a)(2) 条。已与博夫讨论了这些规定及其他条款，博夫对此持不同意见，不认同政府对这些条款的解释，因此需要本法院介入。\n\nThe Silvio J.
