§ 9. Recusal; reason. Any judge who recuses himself or herself from
sitting in or taking any part in the decision of an action, claim,
matter, motion or proceeding shall provide the reason for such recusal
in writing or on the record; provided, however, that no judge shall be
required to provide a reason for such recusal when the reason may result
in embarrassment, or is of a personal nature, affecting the judge or a
person related to the judge within the sixth degree by consanguinity or
affinity.
