044061P.pdf   11/15/2005  USA  v.  James Charles Poe
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-4061
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bowman, Author, with Arnold and Murphy, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal Case - conviction. District court did not abuse its discretion in
   determining no conflict of interest existed when counsel, who represented
   defendant in prior state proceeding, represented codefendant before
   defendant was charged. Finding that counsel's representation of
   codefendant was effectively completed before defendant was involved
   and finding that counsel and the government possessed no information
   from prior state representation are not clearly erroneous. Thus,
   conviction may not be overturned based on a conflict of interest.
