Sec.  28.23  Disqualification of administrative judges.

    (a) In the event that an administrative judge considers himself or 
herself disqualified, he or she shall withdraw from the case, stating on 
the record the reasons therefor, and shall immediately notify the Board 
of the withdrawal.
    (b) Any party may file a motion requesting the administrative judge 
to withdraw on the basis of personal bias or other disqualification and 
specifically setting forth the reasons for the request. This motion 
shall be filed as soon as the party has reason to believe there is a 
basis for disqualification.
    (c) The administrative judge shall rule on the withdrawal motion. If 
the motion is denied, the party requesting withdrawal may take an appeal 
to the full Board. The notice of appeal, together with a supporting 
brief, shall be filed within 15 days of service of the denial of the 
motion. Upon receipt of the appeal, the Board will determine whether a 
response from the other party or parties is required, and if so, will 
fix by order the time for the filing of the response.
