SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota’s U.S. attorney leaves the job Wednesday for private practice.

Brendan Johnson is opening a Sioux Falls office for the Minneapolis-based law firm Robins Kaplan LLP.

He says he’ll spend about 40 percent of his time in South Dakota and the rest in Minneapolis and elsewhere nationwide where the firm does business.

Johnson says much of his work will be on internal investigations and with Native American tribes. He says his presence in the state will allow clients to tap into the resources of a national law firm known for litigation.

Johnson says he’ll focus on building the law practice and has no plans to enter politics.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Randy Seiler (SY’-ler) takes over as the state’s top federal prosecutor until a new U.S. attorney is appointed.
