proceed no further therein, but another judge shall be assigned to

hear such proceeding.

The affidavit shall state the facts and the reasons for the belief

that bias or prejudice exists, and shall be filed not less than ten

days before the beginning of the term at which the proceeding is

to be heard, or good cause shall be shown for failure to file it

within such time. A party may file only one such affidavit in any

case. It shall be accompanied by a certificate of counsel of record

stating that it is made in good faith.

Plaintiff’s motion shall be heard by another judge. The Clerk shall please RANDOMLY

REASSIGN the motion for recusal to be heard BY ANOTHER JUDGE.
