In In re Charles L. (1976) 63 Cal.App.3d 760, a minor argued that the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office was disqualified from handling his case because a former counsel for a codefendant had become employed by that office. The deputy district attorney handling the case stated that he had not discussed the case with the former defense counsel, and in fact knew nothing of him. Moreover, the former defense counsel had not represented the appellant and there was nothing to suggest that the counsel had acquired confidential information or had been privy to attorney-client communications. Under such circumstances the Court of Appeal held that the entire district attorney's office was not disqualified from handling the case. ( Id., at pp. 765-766.)
