Does a former prosecutor have a conflict of interest?

Elsewhere in his petition, petitioner asserts attorney Schlueter should have been removed because he had a conflict of interest in that he had been employed by the El Dorado County District Attorney's Office for over 20 years, and was friends with the prosecutor. Pet. at 26. Having been an El Dorado County prosecutor and having friendships with El Dorado County prosecutors did not render attorney Schlueter incapable of representing petitioner conflict-free because nothing suggests that by representing petitioner, Schlueter was representing conflicting interests.
