Don't think this is a big deal but I am sure people will make a stink about it.

The New York Jets have hired the brother of a judge considering New Jersey’s efforts to allow sports betting, but that won’t affect the case for now.
State Sen. Ray Lesniak and Monmouth Park Racetrack attorney Dennis Drazin say they won’t ask U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp to remove himself from the case after brother Marcel Shipp’s hiring.
Marcel Shipp is a former NFL player who was hired by the Jets this week as a coach. Michael Shipp has ruled against New Jersey in a lawsuit filed by the four pro sports leagues and the NCAA.
The case is to be heard by a federal appeals court in March.
Lesniak says the issue could be revisited if the appeals court sends the case back to Shipp.
