ORDER
LLOYD D. GEORGE, District Judge.
Defendants Quy Nguyen and Jaclyn Sumarnkant were represented by the same attorney: Erick Ferran, Esq. The government moved to disqualify (#131) Mr. Ferran from jointly representing both defendants on the basis of a potential conflict of interest arising out of the joint representation. The Court held a hearing on the motion, during which Mr. Ferran acknowledged that it would be appropriate to grant the motion and require that one of his clients obtain separate counsel.
A review of the docket indicates that Gabriel Grasso and Brian J. Smith moved to be substituted as counsel for Sumarnkant (#137), and that the motion has been granted (#139). Accordingly, as the government's motion remains pending,
THE COURT ORDERS that the Motion to Disqualify (#131) is GRANTED nunc pro tunc to March 4, 2015.
