Iowa Ct. R. 52.4

52.4(1) If the judicial member of the commission is the subject of a complaint before the

commission under rule 52.9, the chief justice of the supreme court shall appoint a district judge

of another judicial district to the commission until the person charged is exonerated, or for the

unexpired portion of the term if the person charged is not exonerated.

52.4(2) If the judicial member of the commission is a resident judge of the same judicial

district as the judicial officer who is the subject of a complaint before the commission under

rule 52.9, the chief justice of the supreme court shall appoint a district judge of another judicial

district to the commission to act as the judicial member during that proceeding. However, if the

judicial member recuses himself or herself from the matter prior to the commission acting on

the complaint, and a quorum is present to act on the matter, the judicial member shall not be

replaced by the chief justice of the supreme court, unless formal proceedings under rule 52.12 are

commenced.

52.4(3) The executive secretary shall notify the chief justice of the supreme court of any need

for such replacement appointment.
