Q: 29, 2010 hearing on BP's motion for continuance, Donato Ramos Jr., one of BP's attorneys, told the court that Zaffirini and Jones were "plaintiffs in addition to being counsel." Ramos Jr. also told the court that "[tjhere was a Favored[-]Nations Clause in Mr. Zaffirini's clients['] oil and gas lease." Ramos Jr. heard Jones complain to the court about BP's planned depositions "especially when a bunch of our clients didn't even go to any of the negotiations." BP first moved to disqualify Zaffirini and Jones on June 27, 2011, three days before the summary-judgment hearing, and almost seven months after the hearing in which BP's counsel stated that Zaffirini was representing clients and heard that Jones was likewise representing others in the suit.
