Disqualification of judge

If the alleged contumacious conduct involves gross disrespect or a personal attack upon the character of the judge, or if the judge’s conduct is so integrated with the alleged contempt that the judge contributed to or was otherwise involved in it, unless the conduct constitutes a direct contempt and prompt punishment by summary procedure is imperative under Rule 33.2(b), the citation shall be referred to another judge who shall hold a hearing to determine whether the contemnor committed the contempt charged, and, if so, to impose punishment.
