Johnson is now the Acting United States Attorney.    <\/p>\n<p>The Vacancies Reform Act (VRA), 5 U.S.C. \u00c2\u00a7 3345(a)(1), provides that when a presidentially appointed U. S. Attorney resigns, the First Assistant U.S. Attorney (&#8220;FAUSA&#8221;) of that office automatically becomes Acting U.S. Attorney.  As a result of David J. Capp&#8217;s resignation, Clifford D. Johnson is now the Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana.  <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Johnson has held the FAUSA position since August 2007.   He joined the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s office as a Civil Assistant United States Attorney (&#8220;AUSA&#8221;) in January 1986. Before becoming the FAUSA, he was the office&#8217;s Civil Division Chief.  Prior to joining the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Office, from August 1980 until December 1985, he was employed as a trial attorney in the Employment Litigation Section of the Department of Justice&#8217;s Civil Rights Division.  He earned his B.A. degree from Valparaiso University in May 1976 and his law degree (Juris Doctor) from Valparaiso University School of Law in May 1980.  <\/p>\n<p>The office looks forward to continued cooperation with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies in our joint effort to promote public safety throughout the Northern District of Indiana.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States Attorney&#8217;s Office announced that Clifford D.
