Opinion
ARONSON, J. —
Appellant C. Tucker Cheadle (Cheadle), as administrator of the estate of Robert F. Obarr (Obarr), appeals from an order denying his motion to disqualify counsel for respondent DP Pham LLC (Pham). Cheadle contends disqualification was required because Pham’s counsel improperly obtained copies of privileged communications between Obarr and his attorney, and used those communications to oppose another party’s summary adjudication motion in this case. The trial court denied the disqualification motion because it concluded the communications were not privileged.
