    (b) The ALJ may exclude parties or their representatives 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 violations of the prohibitions against ex parte 
communications. If an ALJ suspends or bars an attorney from

reasons for such action. An attorney who is suspended or barred from 
participation may appeal to the Chief ALJ. The proceeding will not be 
delayed or suspended pending disposition on the appeal, except that the 
ALJ shall suspend the proceeding for a reasonable time to enable the 
party to obtain another attorney.
