1Opinion of the Court
BOWMAN, Circuit Judge.
This case is before the Court on interlocutory appeal from the District Court’s determination that counsel representing appellants in the underlying cause should be disqualified. We reverse.
Appellee in this case is James O’Connor, plaintiff in a lawsuit brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) alleging that the medical treatment he received as a prisoner in the Missouri correctional system was inadequate. O’Connor was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis and filed his section 1983 complaint pro se. He asked the court to appoint counsel to represent him in the case.
