September 15, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 117 ENTRY REGARDING ATTORNEY DISQUALIFICATION - The issue before the Court is whether attorney G. John Cento should be disqualified from representing the Plaintiff in this case brought under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA") because he previously represented the Defendant, Trans Union LLC, defending it in numerous FCRA cases. The issue has been extensively briefed by the parties, and the Court has held a hearing on the matter. The Court, being duly advised, now finds that Cento i s not disqualified from representing the Plaintiff in this case. Given the lack of factual overlap between the cases litigated by Cento on behalf of Trans Union and the passage of time that has rendered any confidential strategic or general knowledge acquired by Cento during his representation of Trans Union obsolete, the Court finds that Cento may represent Watkins in this case. (See Entry.) Signed by Judge William T. Lawrence on 9/15/2016.(BRR)

The Court urges counsel in this case to put aside their differences and cooperate in completing this discovery and to consider carefully the merits of any invocation of privilege and any challenge to such. The resolution of this issue is long overdue. (See Entry.) Signed by Judge William T. Lawrence on 1/28/2016. (GSO)
