YABLONSKI V. UNITED MINE WORKERS OF AMERICA
448 F.2d 1175 (1971)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Yablonski (P) appealed a decision, which held that the regular
outside counsel of United (D), union and officers, was not disqualified from continuing its
representation in the action.
FACTS: P and 48 other members of D brought suit against D and three named officers --
Boyle, President; Titler, Vice President; Owens, Secretary-Treasurer -- asking for an
accounting of D funds disbursed by them and for restitution of funds allegedly
misappropriated and misspent. The action was brought under 501 of the Labor-Management
Reporting and Disclosure Act. Williams & Connolly defended both D and the officers for a
period of time. Ps moved to disqualify the firm as there was a conflict of interest between
D and the three officers. The firm withdrew from defending the officers but continued to
represent D. The district court agreed and D. P appealed.
