NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans' top prosecutor could announce his resignation as soon as Tuesday afternoon, as his office faces a civil judgment that could bankrupt it, sources said.

Orleans Parish District Attorney Eddie Jordan was unlikely to get a bailout on the $3.7 million payment from the city or state. Officials had said they wouldn't consider paying for the lawsuit unless Jordan stepped down.

A staff meeting scheduled for noon has been pushed back to 1:30 p.m., a spokesperson with his office said.

After Jordan took over the office from Harry Connick Sr. in 2003, he fired dozens of workers -- most of them white. They won a discrimination lawsuit, and Jordan has since lost several appeals.

The district attorney has also been dogged by charges that he was ineffective. The furor became particularly heated after he dropped charges in two high-profile cases: One involved Michael Anderson, the suspect in five slayings, and another involved David Bond, accused of killing Hot 8 Brass Band drummer Dineral Shavers.

Shortly after the charges were dismissed, New Orleans Councilwoman Shelley Midura sent out a letter asking Jordan to resign. Some residents had "Recall Eddie Jordan" signs in their yards, and lawmakers talked of impeaching him on more than one occasion.

Just last week, Jordan's live-in girlfriend admitted she got a ride back to New Orleans from Baton Rouge with Elton Phillips, who's suspected of later robbing a person on the Westbank and shooting a New Orleans police officer.

He need to do more than step down... he needs jail time.

[Yawn...] New Orleans is just a complete cesspool and, while sad to say, needs another good cleaning. The citizens can keep their 'chocolate' city and the scum that run it! The issues start at the top.

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- Mayor Ray Nagin on Tuesday apologized for urging residents to rebuild a "chocolate New Orleans" and saying, "You can't have New Orleans no other way."
