• holding that four-month delay in filing the motion to disqualify (filed on August 24) in the context of the October 16 trial setting sufficed to support a waiver finding
• noting that Rule 1.06(b)(2) sets a higher standard of professional conduct which requires only a showing of a “reasonable appearance” that representation of the movant is being adversely limited
• finding no evidence of any exposure of client confidences and no “reasonable” appearance of unduly diminished representation to warrant disqualification under Rule 1.06(b)(2)
• describing Conoco’s knowledge of a possible conflict nearly eleven months before the trial date
• finding waiver of disqualification where relator was 11 alerted to the potential conflict six months prior to the trial date and four months prior to filing of the motion to disqualify
