§4.317. Standards of conduct.
43 C.F.R. § 4.317
Inquiries about cases. Except for ex parte communications that are prohibited under 43 CFR 4.27, all inquiries by a party to a matter pending before the Board should be directed to the Board's clerk, and all inquiries by a non-party to a matter pending before the Board should be directed to the chief administrative judge of the Board or the administrative judge assigned the matter.
Disqualification. An administrative judge may withdraw from a case in accordance with standards found in the recognized canons of judicial ethics if the judge deems this action appropriate. If, before a decision of the Board, a party files an affidavit of personal bias or disqualification with substantiating facts, and the administrative judge concerned does not withdraw, the OHA Director will determine the matter of disqualification.
