Las Posas Valley Water Rights Coalition v. Mahan R
Mahan Ranch, LLC, and associated persons and entities (collectively, Mahan Ranch) appeal from the trial court’s order disqualifying Ferguson Case Orr Paterson LLP (FCOP) as their attorney of record in the ongoing litigation concerning the Las Posas Valley groundwater basin (the Basin Litigation). Mahan Ranch contends: (1) FCOP had no conflict of interest based on its previous work for Berylwood Heights Mutual Water Company and Zone Mutual Water Company (collectively, Respondents), but even if it did the disqualification motion should have been denied either (2) as untimely, or (3) because Respondents waived the conflict. We agree with Mahan Ranch’s second contention, and vacate the disqualification order.
