The plaintiff's lawyers brought a motion to remove the defendants' lawyer of record, alleging an actual or perceived conflict of interest in her joint representation of all three defendants.
The plaintiff was never a client of the challenged lawyer.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the plaintiff failed to establish a possibility of real mischief or that the proper administration of justice required the removal.
The court also found that the motion was brought for a tactical advantage, given the nearly two-year delay in bringing it after the issue was first raised.
