Alina Habba, who stepped down as New Jersey’s top prosecutor, wants her old job back.

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday asked the full Third Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider a three-judge panel’s December ruling that Habba was serving unlawfully after staying in the job too long without Senate confirmation.

The ruling prompted Habba to step down.

In a declaration accompanying the request for a rehearing, Habba said she resigned because she didn’t want legal controversy over her authority to “interfere with the office’s critical and important work.” Challenges to her authority were brought by defense attorneys and had already disrupted criminal and civil proceedings in New Jersey federal courts.

If the Third Circuit or the Supreme Court sides with her, “I intend to return to my prior position,” Habba wrote.
