Ramirez v. Century Crowell Communities
Plaintiffs[1]contend the trial court abused its discretion in denying their motion to disqualify defendants counsel because (1) defendants counsel improperly communicated with adverse parties without consent of plaintiffs counsel; (2) the trial court erroneously based its decision on the ground that plaintiffs had failed to show prejudice; and (3) the trial court considered facts and evidence that were not properly before the court. We find no abuse of discretion, and we affirm. In addition, because the face of the record suggests misconduct on the part of counsel, Court refer the matter to the State Bar of California for further investigation and, if appropriate, imposition of sanctions.
