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\nVIA ECF\nHon.

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.\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.\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.\nThe Silvio J.
