Jorge Alberto Rodriguez, recommended by Gillibrand, could face sanctions for his handling of case
ALBANY — Just five months ago, President Joe Biden nominated Jorge Alberto Rodriguez to be a federal judge in the Northern District of New York.
The Albany-based assistant attorney general is no longer in line for the judgeship — and could be subject to sanctions from an existing judge on the Northern District’s bench.
In a Nov. 9 decision, U.S. District Judge Mae D’Agostino said Rodriguez, a litigator for Attorney General Letitia James, was responsible for “countless hours wasted” while representing SUNY Upstate Medical University/Upstate Healthcare Center in Syracuse against a civil rights lawsuit.
