Sec. 76.31  Standards of conduct.

    (a) All persons appearing in proceedings before a Judge are expected 
to act with integrity and in an ethical manner.
    (b) The Judge may exclude parties, witnesses, and their attorneys 
for refusal to comply with directions, continued use of dilatory 
tactics, refusal to adhere to reasonable standards of orderly and 
ethical conduct, failure to act in good faith, or violation of the 
prohibition against ex parte communications. The Judge shall state in 
the record the cause for suspending or barring an attorney from 
participation in a proceeding. Any attorney so suspended or barred may 
appeal to the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer for the District, or 
if there is no Chief Administrative Hearing Officer, to the Attorney 
General but no proceeding shall be delayed or suspended pending 
disposition of the appeal; provided, however, that the Judge shall 
suspend the proceeding for a reasonable time for the purpose of enabling 
the party to obtain another attorney.
