MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
DITTER, District Judge.
Plaintiffs, represented by a single attorney, allege that defendants engaged in fraudulent activities in connection with the sale of securities in drilling operations. Defendant, Edward Janansky, has filed a counterclaim against plaintiff, Harry J. Santoro, alleging that Santoro is responsible for the injuries to the plaintiff investors. Janansky, joined by the other defendants, has also moved to disqualify plaintiffs’ counsel on the basis that one attorney cannot represent the claims of Santoro and the other plaintiffs. 1
