Disqualification.
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania
Text
(a) Motion. A request for disqualification of a judge must be made by written motion. If a hearing is set, the clerk will provide to the movant an order setting the hearing date. The movant must serve the order upon: (1) the debtor; and (2) if disqualification from the entire case is not sought, all parties that are engaged in litigation before the Court with regard to an adversary proceeding or contested matter from which the basis for disqualification arose unless service is made on such parties electronically through the ECF system.
(b) Oral Motion. The motion may be made orally in open Court if grounds for disqualification are first presented during proceedings before the judge.
