(a) All persons appearing in proceedings before an administrative
law judge are expected to act with integrity, and in an ethical manner.
(b) The administrative law judge may exclude parties, participants,
and their representatives for refusal to comply with directions,
continued use of dilatory tactics, refusal to adhere to reasonable
standards of orderly and ethical conduct, failure to act in good faith,
or violation of the prohibition against ex parte communications. The
administrative law judge shall state in the record the cause for
suspending or barring an attorney or other representative from
participation in a particular proceeding. Any attorney or other
representative so suspended or barred may appeal to the Chief Judge but
no proceeding shall be delayed or suspended pending disposition of the
appeal; provided, however, that the administrative law judge shall
suspend the proceeding for a reasonable time for the purpose of enabling
the party to obtain another attorney or representative.
