If adverse counsel has expressed an intention to use information against

an opposing party in a civil case when the information was gained as a

result of the attorney's capacity as an assistant commonwealth's attorney,

it is improper for the assistant commonwealth's attorney to represent that

party in the civil proceeding adverse to the interests of the opposing

party. [ DR:8-101 and DR:9-101 of the Virginia Code of Professional

Responsibility, and LE Op. 600]
