Fact that colleague at former law firm had served as officer of two corporations of which debtor was a shareholder was not grounds for disqualification of counsel.
Procedural posture
Movant, the Acting United States Trustee (UST), filed a motion to set aside an order that granted the application to employ counsel for the debtor. The UST contended that counsel was disqualified from representing the debtor because an attorney in counsel's former law firm would have been disqualified.
