Peter Nickles, attorney general for the District of Columbia, gets picked on by the plaintiffs’ bar and criticized by the city lawyers’ union. Now the District’s first attorney general, Robert Spagnoletti, has his own beef with the city’s top lawyer. Spagnoletti of Washington’s Schertler & Onorato filed court papers Aug. 31 in D.C. Superior Court seeking enforcement of a subpoena issued by D.C. Auditor Deborah Nichols. She wants unrestricted access to documents relating to the now-dissolved National Capital Revitalization Corp. and the Anacostia Waterfront Corp. But the city isn’t eager to help. Nickles called the subpoena “so broadly stated” as to be unenforceable. Spagnoletti said in court papers that current restrictions on access “taint the audit process.” The judge could have the final word. — Mike Scarcella
