All cases which are not subject to direct referral to the United States Attorneys as set forth in JM 5-1.310 are initially referred to the Assistant Attorney General for review and case assignment. Except where determined otherwise by the Assistant Attorney General, such determinations are made by the appropriate Section of the Division. In accordance with ENRD Directive No. 2024-02, Part I.D, certain cases not subject to direct referral may be delegated to the United States Attorney pursuant to a written request from the United States Attorney or as delegated in writing by the appropriate Section Chief of the Division. Certain cases may also be assigned as the joint responsibility of the United States Attorney and the Division. See JM 5-1.324.
