Rule 5004. Disqualification
(a)
Disqualification of Judge. A bankruptcy judge shall be governed by 28 U.S.C. § 455, and disqualified from presiding over the proceeding or contested matter in which the disqualifying circumstances [1] arises or, if appropriate, shall be disqualified from presiding over the case.
(b)
Disqualification of Judge from Allowing Compensation. A bankruptcy judge shall be disqualified from allowing compensation to a person who is a relative of the bankruptcy judge or with whom the judge is so connected as to render it improper for the judge to authorize such compensation.
[1] So in original. Probably should be “circumstance”.
