Opinion
RYLAARSDAM, Acting P. J.
Defendant Verner S. Waite and his lawyer Randy Kramer appeal from the trial court’s order disqualifying Kramer from representing or assisting defendant in the underlying actions. They contend plaintiffs Carl Westerhoff, Sheldon Zinberg, and Abram Zinberg lacked standing to bring the motion for disqualification. Further, they contend that, even had the motion been made by a proper party, the court abused its discretion in ordering Kramer’s disqualification. We agree with both contentions and accordingly reverse the order.
