930 P.2d 183
Okla.
1996

ORDER

This appeal from a trial judge’s order disqualifying a law firm based on conflict of interest was correctly brought under the provisions of 12 O.S. 1991 § 953, Hammonds v. Osteopathic Hospital Founders Association, 917 P.2d 6 (Okl.1996).

The trial judge’s disqualification order is summarily reversed and the cause remanded for an evidentiary hearing. If, after holding a hearing, the trial judge should determine that plaintiffs attorneys should be disqualified, its order of disqualification must include a specific factual finding that attorney Wagner had knowledge of material and confidential information.
