XRP Lawsuit: US SEC’s Attorney Pascale Guerrier Withdraws

In yet another shuffle in legal teams on either side of the Ripple XRP lawsuit, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday filed a motion for withdrawal of one of its attorneys in the Ripple lawsuit. This comes a new attorney, Caleb J. Robertson, appeared before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse on August 22, 2023.

US SEC’s Attorney Withdraws From XRP Lawsuit

In a filing dated August 23, the federal regulatory agency said that attorney Guerrier is no longer a part of the lawsuit against Ripple Labs. However, other counsels recorded previously continue to represent the agency, it said in the filing.

“Ms. Guerrier is no longer participating in this matter. The SEC continues to be represented by the other counsel of record in this matter.”

In this context, it is unknown as of now as to whether the attorney had asked to withdraw over disagreements with the SEC’s position. The agency officials have been at the receiving end of criticism over the stringent enforcement actions it took against crypto businesses since the beginning of 2023. On the other side, the US lawmakers have been expressing concerns on the threat of dedollarization in the international markets.
