United States Second Circuit

In petitioner's appeal from the district court's order granting a motion to disqualify petitioner's counsel, the order is affirmed where counsel represented respondent's parent company, respondent and the parent company were so closely related that they were essentially one client for disqualification purposes, and counsel had thus engaged in concurrent representation, which it could not do without the parent company's consent.
