Alec Baldwin is gonna like it... the special prosecutor overseeing the "Rust" case says she's stepping down.

Andrea Reeb had come under fire from Alec's legal team, with her defense calling for Reeb's resignation because Baldwin's camp argued she was trying the case while also serving as a state lawmaker in New Mexico, violating the state constitution.

Well, Alec and company. got their wish on Tuesday, when Reeb announced she was giving up pursuing him.

In a statement to TMZ, Reeb said... "After careful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to step down as Special Prosecutor in the 'Rust' case. My priority in this case -- and in every case I've prosecuted in my 25-year career - has brought justice to the victim."

Reeb adds... "However, it has become clear that the best way to ensure justice in this case is to step aside so that the prosecution can focus on the evidence and the facts, which clearly show a complete disregard for basic security protocols led to the death of Halyna Hutchins."
