Court of Appeals of California, Fourth District, Division One.

Lawton Law Firm, Dan Lawton, Joseph C. Kracht and Matt Valenti for Defendants and Respondents RFG Oil, Inc., and David Gong.


OPINION

McINTYRE, J.

Jeffrey Gong appeals an order denying his motion to disqualify Dan Lawton and the Lawton Law Firm (together, Lawton) as counsel for defendants David Gong and RFG Oil, Inc. (RFG). Jeffrey asserts that an actual conflict of interest exists between David and RFG and that Lawton must be disqualified from representing RFG, but can remain as counsel for David. We agree and reverse and remand with directions.
