It is the opinion of the Commission that, absent any unusual additional circumstances
causing a continued question as to your impartiality, you are not disqualified to hear the
action in question. The Commission has previously held on a number of occasions
that, unless there are extraordinary circumstances that would require continued
disqualification, a judge is not disqualified to hear an action after a circumstance
causing the judge to be disqualified ceases to exist. E.g., Advisory Opinions 92-454,
96-605, 96-606, 96-616, and 96-617. Advisory Opinion 98-692 involved facts similar to
those you present: dismissal of a party who was represented by an attorney whose
involvement in the case would have caused disqualification of the judge.
