When Noth was fired from the show in 1995 over a salary dispute, the Logan character was written out; in the Law & Order universe, Logan is transferred from Manhattan Homicide to the Staten Island Domestic Disputes squad in 1995 for publicly punching a homophobic politician who had been tried for the murder of a gay man (based on the Dan White case). The transfer is considered a punishment and a career dead end for Logan; McCoy refers to Logan's new assignment as "doing 5 to 10 in Staten Island". He is replaced by Det. Rey Curtis (Benjamin Bratt).
