DeMartini v. Blotzer CA2/3
This lawsuit involves a dispute between members of the rock band, RATT. Robert Blotzer appeals from an order denying his motion to disqualify Warren DeMartini’s counsel, Grant A. Carlson and his law firm, Friedman, Enriquez & Carlson (FEC). More than a decade before DeMartini filed this action against Blotzer, Kyle P. Kelley represented DeMartini, Blotzer, and WBS, Inc.―the owner of RATT’s intellectual property―in a lawsuit filed by RATT band member Stephen Pearcy. At the time, Kelley had his own law practice, through which he represented Blotzer et al., and also was designated “of counsel” to FEC. Kelley severed his ties with FEC in 2012 and moved to Texas in 2014. Carlson and FEC filed this action on behalf of DeMartini in September 2015.
