Facts

D filed a motion to disqualify counsel for Ps since their counsel hired an attorney, namely, Talib Ellison, Esq., after Ellison left his employment with counsel for D, namely, Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, LLC (Ogletree), and since Ellison worked on this very case on behalf of D when he was with Ogletree. Ps claim that Ellison was properly screened, that D will not be prejudiced by counsel's continued representation, and that disqualification of their counsel would cause an undue hardship on them.
