Withdrawal and Disqualification of Presiding Officer

A Presiding Officer may at any time withdraw from an Adjudicatory Proceeding, in which case another Presiding Officer shall be appointed. If a Party files a timely and sufficient motion and supporting affidavit alleging bias or other ground for disqualification of a Presiding Officer, and the Presiding Officer does not disqualify himself or herself pursuant to such motion, such motion and all material submitted in support of and opposition to such motion shall be made part of the record, and the Presiding Officer may rule on the motion as part of the Decision in the Adjudicatory Proceeding or at such earlier time as justice may require.
