Cooper v. County of Sonoma
County of Sonoma (County) appeals the order denying its motion to disqualify attorney Gail Flatt from representing Tiffany Cooper, a County employee who has filed a disability employment discrimination action against the County. The trial court also denied the Countys request for certain protective orders. Countys primary claim of error is that Flatt should be disqualified because she received, reviewed and retained confidential, privileged and protected County documents and had ex parte communications with Countys managing agent, Linda Jenkins, while Jenkins was represented by Countys counsel in the action Flatt brought on behalf of Cooper, an existing client, against County. The order is affirmed.
