New counsel for Paterson

Terryl Brown-Clemens takes over today as Gov. David Paterson’s new top legal adviser, replacing David Nocenti, a Spitzer holdover whose last dayon the job was yesterday.
Brown-Clemens has been an assistant counsel.
The top administrative staff has now almost completely turned over since Paterson succeeded Spitzer on March 17. Sean Patrick Maloney, a special adviser, appears to be the last man standing from the old Spitzer crew.
Nocenti will probably be best remembered for writing the directive last month that ordered state agencies to recognize same-sex marriages – an order now being challenged in court.
