What it does

Existing law authorizes a party to file a motion to disqualify a district attorney, city attorney, or city prosecutor from performing an authorized duty. Existing law requires notice of the motion to be served on the district attorney and the Attorney General at least 10 court days before the motion is heard. Under existing law, the motion may not be granted unless the evidence shows that a conflict of interest exists that would render it unlikely that the defendant would receive a fair trial.
