KIRK AND AMY HENRY, Plaintiffs, v. FREDRICK RIZZOLO, aka RICK RIZZOLO, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
Motion to Disqualify (#717)
This matter comes before the Court on Defendant Lisa Rizzolo's ("Defendant") Renewed Motion to Disqualify Donald Campbell and Stanley Hunterton as Plaintiffs' Counsel (#717), filed on January 4, 2013.
Defendant previously moved to dismiss Campbell and Hunterton as Plaintiffs' Counsel on September 15, 2009. See Doc. #194. The Court denied the Motion (#194) without prejudice at a hearing on November 9, 2009. See Doc. #237. Defendant Rick Rizzolo ("Rizzolo") filed a motion to disqualify Campbell and Hunterton as Plaintiffs' Counsel on November 29, 2012. See Doc. #692. Defendant initially filed a Joinder (#698) to Rizzolo's Motion to Disqualify (#692). Defendant represents that upon review of Plaintiffs' Opposition (#694) to Rizzolo's Motion (#692), she opted to file this separate Motion to Disqualify. The Court denied Rizzolo's Motion (#692) at a hearing on January 7, 2013. See Doc. #719. For the reasons stated on the record at the November 9, 2009 (#237) and January 7, 2013 (#719) hearings, the Court finds Defendant does not establish cause to disqualify Donald Campbell and Stanley Hunterton as Plaintiff's trial counsel. Accordingly, ...
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Lisa Rizzolo's Renewed Motion to Disqualify Donald J. Campbell and C. Stanley Hunterton as Counsel for Plaintiffs (#717) is denied.
