The DeKalb County solicitor’s office has dropped its request to remove the lawyer representing one of three Occupy Our Homes Atlanta protesters arrested along with a man who was evicted from his foreclosed Avondale Estates home last year. All four were charged with criminal trespass after they refused to leave the property.
The office of DeKalb Solicitor-General Sherry Boston had asked the court to disqualify attorney Mawuli Davis from representing one of the activists, Timothy McCabe.

McCabe, who’s also known as Tim Franzen, is a leader of the Atlanta Occupy movement.
